This comprehensive study delves into three burgeoning application areas for milk-derived exosomes, discussing recent developments and exciting advancements in each sphere.
1. Exosomes: Your New Joint Savior
Abbott Laboratories has been aggressively securing patents related to the use of milk exosomes for various wellness benefits, such as combating fatty liver disease, reducing the risk of diabetes, boosting athletic performance, aiding muscle recovery, fostering bone growth, and safeguarding joint health.
Their patent targets enhanced joint health through a product abundant with exosomes derived directly from bovine milk, specifically the whey component. It's thought this exosome-rich brew could also include cheese whey. Results from their research reveal that administering 12.5 μg/ml of these exosomes could trigger a 30% surge in proteoglycan formation, essential for maintaining joint cartilage.
2. Exosomes: Skincare Routine's New Best Friend
EriVan Bio, a company backed by the Sid Martin Biotechnology Incubator in Florida, has filed a patent for a skincare formula that merges exosomes derived from milk with mesenchymal exosomes to promote skin and hair health.
Similarly, Kyung Hee University’s collaborative initiative in Seoul has patented a composition utilizing milk-based exosomes to bolster skin elasticity and lower the impact of wrinkles. Research linked to this patent suggests that applying 50 μg/ml of milk exosomes could trigger more than a 150% increase in collagen synthesis and minimize the activity of the elastase enzyme, thereby hindering skin aging by 1.5 times.
3. Exosomes: On-the-Go Drug Delivery
The Tiny Cargo Company, a 2018 start-up nurtured within Johnson & Johnson Innovation's J-LABS, is developing a novel medication dubbed Xolacta. This remedy, based on milk exosomes derived from cow milk and fortified with the α-CT11 peptide, claims to provide whole-body protection from radiation. Moreover, The Tiny Cargo Company has developed a technique for industrially harvesting exosomes from cow milk and a licensed method for loading therapeutic powerhouses inside these exosomes, creating an avant-garde drug delivery system.
The company aims to target applications for these enhanced exosomes including infant nutrition, muscle and bone recovery, and gut health. With ambitions to commercialize its exosome technology by late 2024, The Tiny Cargo Company has managed to secure an investment from Virginia Venture Partners (VVP) to grow and fortify its drug delivery platform. Additionally, Virginia Tech has served as the patent owner for the isolation methodology of exosomes.
Similar to harnessing the power of milk exosomes for radiation protection, Abbott has also filed a patent to boost the bioavailability of Vitamin K2 by encasing milk exosomes with the same. Research associated with this patent described an 81% rise in Vitamin K2 levels in blood serum and a 66% increase in Vitamin K2 levels in lymph when taken with bovine milk exosomes.
Forward Horizons
As we peer into the future, this cutting-edge field will revolutionize the dairy industry's approach to health and nutrition. These innovations underscore the boundless potential of utilizing milk-derived exosomes as vital components in a diverse array of health-focused applications, paving the way for innovations in pharmaceuticals, supplements, and beauty care.
While much research remains to be conducted, a united business strategy, research, and intellectual property strategy will assuredly benefit your enterprise, and that's where we come in!
