[January 21, 2022 (Friday)] Notice of Participation in the "Tsukuba Medical Engineering Collaboration Forum 2022"

There are numerous research examples, including skin models and models of various organs (heart, liver, kidneys, etc.)!

We would like to introduce our bio 3D printer, the "BIO X Series." We offer the "BIO X" and "BIO X6," which allow for flexible use according to research purposes. As an application example, in "cell and molecule encapsulation," cells, drugs, proteins, spheroids, and more can be embedded within hydrogel beads. Additionally, it is possible to print multiple cells and materials using up to six print heads. 【Flexible Use According to Research Purposes】 ■ Utilize multiple print heads ■ Continuously print models ■ Create flexible 3D models ■ Dispense materials like Matrigel *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Compatible with a wide range of materials. Ensures high cleanliness with UV-C lamps and HEPA filters. Also focuses on ease of use.

The "BIO X" is a desktop bio 3D printer equipped with an intelligent print head (iPH) that can accommodate a wide range of materials. It features two high-output fans at the top of the device, which pressurize the cavity with clean air filtered through HEPA filters and other means. Additionally, it is equipped with UV-C lamps that maintain a clean printing environment through an automatic cycle. 【Features】 ■ Compatible with temperature-sensitive materials such as collagen and gelatin ■ A wide lineup of high-performance print heads ■ Easy replacement of print heads ■ Suitable for a wide range of applications *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

Tested under all rigidity conditions! Let's find the optimal softness for your cells!

The "CytoSoft Discovery Kit" consists of a set of 7 plates in a 6-well format that covers physiological stiffness, with stiffness levels of 0.2, 0.5, 2, 8, 16, 32, and 64 kPa. When dermal fibroblasts were cultured on CytoSoft plates at 0.2, 8, and 64 kPa, significant formation of F-actin stress fibers was observed in the 0.2 kPa and 64 kPa environments. On the other hand, fibroblasts at 8 kPa showed increased adhesion to the substrate, resulting in a reduction of stress fibers. 【Features】 ■ Tested under all stiffness conditions ■ Observation of differences in cell behavior *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

**Seminar Overview** "Generative AI" is gaining attention as a method for improving business efficiency and utilizing internal digital transformation (DX). However, its effectiveness can be influenced by the literacy of the employees using it, which may, in turn, increase the burden of work. In this seminar, we will discuss the current challenges of generative AI while providing examples of how it can be used to enhance business efficiency. We will also explain how to utilize generative AI in a way that achieves efficiency without being affected by the user's skills. We hope this will serve as a reference for considering the use of generative AI.

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations on the continued prosperity of your esteemed company. Our company will be exhibiting at the following trade show, where we will introduce a number of products, including our new product, the Pillow Packaging Full Air Tightness Inspection Machine MSQ-2003. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience during your busy schedule, but we would like to invite you to visit us at this opportunity. 【 Exhibition Name 】 JAPAN PACK 2025 Japan Packaging Industry Exhibition https://www.japanpack.jp/ 【 Dates 】 October 7 (Tuesday) to October 10 (Friday), 2025 *4 days 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM 【 Venue / Booth Number 】 Tokyo Big Sight / East Hall 8, Booth 505

[Speaker] Kento Imaizumi, Counsel Attorney, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Numerous corporate scandals have emerged that could have a significant impact on companies. Once a company's trust is lost due to a scandal, it takes a long time and considerable costs to recover. Many companies are now seriously working on "restructuring their compliance systems" in response to the occurrence of such scandals that could have a major impact. This seminar will provide a clear explanation of "the strengthening of compliance systems that companies should seriously address now," focusing on the establishment of appropriate internal reporting and audit systems and investigation responses, taking into account the latest legal amendments and trends in corporate scandals. [Lecture Topics] 1. Issues in compliance systems as seen from recent corporate scandals 2. Necessary systems for strengthening compliance 3. Strengthening internal reporting systems 4. Strengthening audit functions 5. The necessity and content of investigation responses that can withstand post-event verification 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Kenji Aoshima, Senior Chief Researcher, Business Risk Division, Tokio Marine & Nichido Risk Consulting Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] Recently, large companies have seen a proliferation of various departments and committees, leading to duplication (spaghetti-like structures) that hinder efficient and rapid management. Additionally, challenges such as generative AI, cyberattacks, and geopolitical issues require cross-departmental and cross-committee responses. In response to this, some companies are increasingly integrating governance, risk management, and compliance functions under names such as "GRC Meetings" and "GRC Divisions." In this lecture, the speaker will share insights on building efficient and effective management systems using generative AI, drawing on consulting know-how accumulated in corporate governance, risk management, and compliance. [Lecture Items] 1. The history and importance of management in companies 2. Case studies of corporate crises caused by management disruptions 3. Three essential elements for management 4. The necessity of GRC 5. The process of building GRC 6. Summary 7. Q&A / Business card exchange
