★★ 251023 ノーベル生理学・医学賞に坂口志文さんら JAPANESE SCIENTIST WINS NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE
Sakaguchi Shimon is one of three winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The Nobel Assembly says the three scientists discovered how the immune system is kept in check.
Through years of back-and-forth research, they identified the system’s so-called security guards, known as “regulatory T cells.”
Those prevent our immune cells from attacking our own body.
Sakaguchi kicked off this research in 1995, when he first identified the unknown cells.
He’s now affiliated with the University of Osaka.
(Sakaguchi Shimon / Specially Appointed Professor, University of Osaka) “This award may lead to more development and research in this field. And hopefully progress will be made to the point where we can have real, medical, bedside applications for this work.”
The research is expected to lead to new treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases.

HITACHI BOOSTS MID-CAREER HIRING TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE
Japanese electronics giant Hitachi says it’s hiring more mid-career staff than new graduates this fiscal year for the first time ever.
Hitachi plans to take on 930 people with prior work experience. That’s more than three times as many as five years ago and compares with a quota of 815 fresh graduates.
The company is spearheading a change in the Japanese corporate practice of mainly hiring workers fresh out of university and training them from scratch.

“The rapid pace of technological innovation means getting workers with relevant skills and experiences right away offers real benefits.”
In the past, electronics firms mainly focused on making home appliances and other consumer goods.
