Our Initiatives at the Expo
Osaka Healthcare PavilionNest for Reborn
Premium partner
-
- The Osaka Healthcare Pavilion is a pavilion where visitors can experience urban life in the future. The main exhibit, the "REBORN Experience Route (reservation required)," allows visitors to experience their "future self of the year 2050" created based on their personal health record. The Glico Group will present a booth named "Cellular-care Lab." in the "Future Healthcare" zone on the second floor.
The theme of our booth is "Cellular-care." "Cellular-care" is a new approach aimed at preventing aging by directly targeting cells. At our "Cellular-care Lab." booth, we present the roles of cells, the impact of senescent cells on the body, the mechanisms of "Cellular-care," and our ongoing research on it.
Glico’s Research on “Cellular-care”
One human body is made up of hundreds of types of cells and tens of trillions of cells. We focus on cells, the smallest units of the body. Glico is advancing research to prevent overall body aging by caring cells.Glico is proposing a“Cellular-care” as a new healthy aging approach that directly targets cells.
Our cells age for various reasons, such as the body's aging, ultraviolet rays, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Senescent cells are cells that have lost their original function, and senescent cells negatively impact surrounding normal cells, which leads to aging.
As various factors build up, more and more cells become senescent, losing their original function. This leads to illness and aging.
We have been putting our efforts to investigate a way of “Cellular-care” by focusing on functions that remove senescent cells. It is expected that removing senescent cells stops their negative effects on surrounding cells.
Staff’s Uniform
The uniform worn by our booth staff has been designed by the designer Ms. Junko Koshino. It is a gender-neutral uniform, suitable for all genders, embracing the principle of diversity. The design, inspired by lab coats, features a white base matching the color of our booth, and expresses the theme of "Future Healthcare."
Signature PavilionEARTH MART
Silver partner
We support one of the official Signature Pavilions “EARTH MART” produced by Mr. Kundo Koyama. The theme of this pavilion is “Cycle of Lives”. In an ambiance reminiscent of a shopping experience in a supermarket, you can have an opportunity to touch the cycle of foods and lives, and to share the joy, importance and gratitude of “sharing a meal” with people from all over the world.
