The 20th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association for Animal Cell Technology (JAACT2007) was held at the Takasaki City Gallery in Takasaki, Gunma, Japan from July 3 to 4, 2007. The meeting chairman was Prof. Atsushi Enomoto, Gunma University. The meeting focused on recent advancement of animal cell technologies from basic and applied aspects. We invited academic and industrial scientists to make the JAACT2007 truly successful and scientifically fruitful. More than 400 participants including high school students joined the meeting. The program was as follows: Symposium 1: Process and quality in the manufacture of biomedicines (I) Mini symposium: Bioscience in Gunma University; Special seminar in life sciences by Graduate School of Engineering and Institute for Molecular and Cellular Regulation Special program I: Visiting to Takasaki Plant of Kirin Pharma Co. Ltd. Special program II: Seminar on animal cell technology for high school students.

Optimization of culture medium and
introduction of ICC laboratory.
Symposium 3: Present status and new development
of the evaluation system on food functions using
animal cells
Forty eight posters were presented and exhibitions
were done by 14 companies.
We believe that all participants enjoyed the
scientific fruits of the JAACT2007 meeting at Takasaki.
Especially the special program for high school students
was very successful and contributed to encourage
young people in the field of science. The editors
express their sincere gratitude to all the participants,
lecturers in plenary lectures, symposia, technical
seminar, special programs, chairpersons and
organizers of the symposia and special programs, many high
school students and teachers, members of the
organizing committee for their dedication in assuring the
success of the meeting.
This JAACT2007 issue of Cytotechnology
includes 10 papers accepted after peer review. The
editors hope this JAACT issue of Cytotechnology
will greatly contribute to the development of animal
cell technology or innovation of life science. (...truncated)
