Efficacy Evaluation of Microneedle Beauty Serum Containing Euglena-derived Ingredients and Egg-derived Cosmetic Ingredients Introducing CELLAMENT® CELLAMENT® is a skincare cosmetic ingredient derived from the culture supernatant of chicken amniotic membrane (placenta-like) tissue cells. Three cells – the amnion, yolk sac, and allantois – play a role similar to the placenta. These cells secrete growth factors, amino acids, vitamins, and other physiologically active substances beneficial to the skin. Effects such as fibroblast proliferation promotion, antioxidation, moisturization, and sebum synthesis inhibition have been confirmed. Euglena Extracts Euglena (Scientific name: Euglena gracilis Z,

Panel Discussion: Small Decomposers and Planetary Health Carrying the Future of Earth

Since the birth of plants on Earth, they have contributed to the planet’s richness through a continuous process of growth and decomposition. In this process, small organisms such as microorganisms and insects play a crucial role as decomposers. While the growth and decomposition processes have long maintained a balance, the excessive discharge of plant residues by human activities has disrupted this equilibrium. At the “Panel Discussion: Small Decomposers and Planetary Health” held during the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference 2023 in Osaka, the focus was placed on the power of microorganisms and insects, and the potential
