Role of transcosmos
transcosmos delivers new forms of marketing services designed for young generations to help clients make the most of three leading metaverse platforms attracting generation Z and alpha, namely Fortnite, Roblox and ZEPETO. Fortnite is a popular gaming metaverse across the world, with monthly active users surpassing 5 million in Japan alone. Working with BORDER, a Fortnite metaverse production studio, transcosmos successfully accomplished a 3-month development project for Matsui Securities. Tomorrow, August 1, 2024, MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities will be published on Fortnite.

MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities
Using collected items in a dungeon quest as capital, players try to increase their in-game money strategically by trading KABU or shares while checking share price fluctuations. Players compete to escape from a dungeon within a set time with the highest earnings to be the winner.

To commemorate the release of the game, a popular YouTuber will livestream MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities game playthrough.

Items found in dungeon quests will be collected by a drone, a player’s buddy in dungeon quests, and automatically converted to in-game money. Players can use the money for trading Kabu while checking price fluctuations.

Players must complete a dungeon within a time limit. If they fail to escape a dungeon in the allowed time, players’ earned money will be reduced by half. Finding an escape pod is the key to success. Throughout the game, there are tricks to get the right time to trade Kabu and beat rivals. Use tricks, earn in-game money taking a broad view while grasping market trends, and clear the game.

[Check price chart] Throughout the game, KABU pricing chart will be on the screen. Keeping an eye on the chart and getting the right time to trade KABU is the key to maximize in-game money.

[Check information from a character] A non-playable character (NPC) appears in a dungeon. Catch and utilize KABU market price information from the NPC.

[Items to block rivals] Players can purchase items to block rival players with in-game money. Stop rivals for a certain time period with “traps,” limit their play zone with “walls,” and cloud their views by emitting smoke using “smoke.” With these items, players can block rivals who are trying to trade their Kabu, and gain the upper hand.

CellFE® and Syenex Collaborate to Advance Cell Engineering with Hybrid Gene Editing Workflow

Published

By

ALAMEDA, Calif., Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CellFE®, a leader in non-viral gene editing technology, and Syenex, a pioneer in enveloped delivery vectors, have announced an innovative collaboration to create a hybrid workflow that seamlessly integrates non-viral and viral approaches to cell therapy engineering. This next-generation process aims to enable streamlined workflows of complex edited cells for biotech and pharmaceutical applications. 

CellFE® and Syenex announce collaboration on hybrid gene editing workflow ahead of the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference.

The collaboration application note will be officially unveiled the week of the highly anticipated J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco this January, a premier event that brings together industry leaders, investors, and innovators from around the world.

“The market has been anticipating a solution that seamlessly integrates non-viral knockout with viral knockin capabilities into a streamlined workflow—one that preserves cell viability and functionality without compromise.” said Dr. Alla Zamarayeva, CEO of CellFE. “By collaborating with Syenex, we are directly addressing this critical need.”

Jay Rosanelli, CEO at Syenex, added: “This joint effort showcases the role of collaborative science in accelerating the creation of life-changing medicines for patients around the globe. We are thrilled to partner with CellFE and showcase the potential of this novel hybrid workflow to dramatically simplify manufacturing of genetic medicines.”

This collaboration comes at a pivotal time as allogeneic and autologous cell therapy providers seek more efficient manufacturing processes. A key challenge is developing gentler yet highly effective techniques for delivering gene-editing cargo to patient cells, as current methods—often involving viral transduction and electroporation—can be detrimental to cells and extend recovery and processing times, particularly for complex, sequential editing. This innovative hybrid workflow aims to overcome these challenges, enabling advanced genetic editing while preserving cell functionality and supporting streamlined workflows.

Both companies will be attending the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference this month from January 13-16th. Details on where to partner with the companies at the conference can be found below, along with contact information for both companies.
