On the afternoon of the 22nd, Dr. Zhang Tianfu, Director of the CMC Drug Manufacturing and Quality Control Division, delivered a keynote presentation titled "Cell Therapy Process Development" at the "Development and Prospects of CGT" forum. Dr. Zhang first introduced market forecasts for cell therapy, which are expected to exceed $20 billion by 2030, with an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of 22.67%. He specifically noted that the Asia-Pacific and North American regions will be the fastest-growing areas. T-cell therapies continue to lead globally, followed by natural killer (NK) cell and stem cell therapies. Hematologic diseases are the most common indications, and stem cell induction into immune cells holds vast application potential.
Dr. Zhang then provided an in-depth look at the process development for two types of cell therapy products: the process of evolving peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into T cells and the process of evolving induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into NK cells. During the process development, Dr. Zhang emphasized the importance of cell evolution goals, key reagent selection, and regulatory compliance.

塞纳河上的开幕式
For the first time in the history of the Summer Olympic Games, the Opening Ceremony does not take place in a stadium. Paris 2024 is breaking new ground by bringing sports into the city and the Opening Ceremony is held in the heart of the city along its main artery: the Seine.
在夏季奥运会的历史上,开幕式首次不在体育场内举行。2024年巴黎奥运会开创了新的局面,将体育赛事带进城市,开幕式也在城市的心脏地带——塞纳河畔举行。

首次男女运动员比例一致
For the first time in history, the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games see an equal number of men and women competing. This 50:50 representation of athletes makes the Summer Games the first to reach gender equality.
2024年巴黎奥运会和残奥会是历史上首次男女参赛人数相等的奥运会。男女运动员 50:50 的比例,使这届夏季奥运会成为首个实现性别平等的奥运会。
霹雳舞迎来奥运首秀
"Ouvrons Grand LesJeux", meaning "Games Wide Open", is the shared slogan for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. For the first time, the Olympics and Paralympics share a same emblem. There are 32 sports and 329 events in the Paris Games with skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing and breaking newly added. Breaking will make its Olympic debut in Paris.
“奥运更开放”是巴黎奥运会和残奥会提出的口号。另外,奥运会和残奥会将首次使用相同的会徽,巴黎奥运会设32个大项329个小项,新增了滑板、冲浪、竞技攀岩和霹雳舞四个大项,其中霹雳舞将在巴黎迎来奥运会首秀。
Breaking is a competitive form of breakdancing that includes footwork and athletic moves like back or head spins. Athletes (known as B-boys and B-girls) are judged on a number of criteria during their routines, including technical skill, creativity, style, speed, strength, rhythm and agility.
霹雳舞是一种竞技性的街舞形式,包括脚步动作和如后旋或头旋这样的运动动作。运动员(被称为B-boys和B-girls)在比赛过程中会根据多个标准被评判,包括技术技能、创造力、风格、速度、力量、节奏和敏捷性。

首次采用紫色跑道
Paris is adding its own French flair to the Olympics with this new color choice. Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, Paris is embracing purple. Departing from the traditional red-brick clay color, orange, or blue, this marks the first time in Olympic history that purple has been used for the track surface.
巴黎通过这一新的色彩选择,为奥运会增添了独特的法国风情。在2024年奥运会之前,巴黎便选择了紫色。与传统的红砖土色、橙色或蓝色不同,这是奥运历史上首次将紫色用于跑道表面。
奥运会和残奥会首次使用相同的会徽
When the emblem for Paris 2024 was unveiled in 2019, it marked an iconic moment in the history of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. For the first time ever, the same emblem would be used for both competitions.
在2019年,揭晓2024年巴黎奥运会会徽时,标志了奥运会与残奥会历史上的一个标志性时刻。这是有史以来第一次,两项赛事使用相同的会徽。
23
24
Described as the "face" of the Games, the emblem is a unity of three iconic symbols: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne — a cherished symbol of the revolution and the people of France.
该会徽被誉为赛事的“面孔”,由三个标志性符号组成:金牌、火焰和玛丽安娜——法国革命与人民的珍贵象征。
有别于动物造型的奥运吉祥物
The mascots for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games of Paris 2024 are the Phryges.
2024年巴黎奥运会(左)与残奥会(右)的吉祥物是弗里热。
Phryges are small Phrygian caps, which represent a strong symbol of liberty, inclusivity and the ability of people to support great and meaningful causes. They are kitted out in a red, white and blue colourway, with the golden Paris 2024 logo emblazoned across their chests.
弗里热源自法国著名的弗里吉亚帽。弗里吉亚帽象征着自由、包容和人们支持伟大且有意义事业的能力。弗里热造型采用源自法国国旗的蓝、白、红三色,胸前镶嵌金色巴黎2024会徽。
It's a symbol of revolution and freedom, of striving. It's an icon seen over centuries, from the Notre Dame Cathedral to the Eiffel Tower. More specifically, it's the red bonnet famously worn by Marianne, the artistic personification of the free French republic.
弗里吉亚帽是革命、自由、奋斗的象征。几个世纪以来,在巴黎圣母院大教堂、埃菲尔铁塔,都能看到这顶标志性的帽子。更具体地说,这顶弗里吉亚帽是玛丽安娜头顶标志性的红色帽子。玛丽安娜是法兰西共和国的国家象征。
奥运插画海报
To fulfil this creative ambition and illustrate its vision of the Games, Paris 2024 has called on the unique talent of French cartoonist Ugo Gattoni, who has captured the spirit of the Games in a universe brimming with detail and symbols celebrating both the values of sport and the excitement of a great popular festival open to the world.
除此之外,让人振奋的还有插画师(illustrator)乌戈·加托尼(Ugo Gattoni)耗时2000小时绘制的奥运主题海报(Olympic Iconic Poster)。

The Iconic Posters are the dream representation of a stadium city, echoing the Paris 2024 slogan "Games wide open" and referring to the concept of the Paris Games: bringing sport to the heart of the city. In Paris, Marseille and Tahiti, Paris 2024 invites spectators to take a stroll through an abundant, joyful universe where every detail tells its own story.
插画师在海报中构想了一座多元、繁华、精致的奥运都市,生动地展现了奥运嘉年华的盛景,你能从图中找到熟悉的凯旋门、协和广场等巴黎著名地标(landmark),以及藏在各处细节里的奥运元素。画面细节之丰富,人物数量之庞大,让不少网友直呼其为法国版“塞纳上河图”。
奥运奖牌
Paris 2024 called on LVMH jeweler Chaumet to design its medals. Globally renowned for its craftsmanship, Chaumet has made the medal into a veritable jewel, with a construction conceived around three sources of inspiration: the hexagon, radiance, and gem-setting.
本届奥运奖牌(Olympic Medals)由法国奢侈品巨头LVMH集团旗下以皇冠珠宝闻名的尚美巴黎CHAUMET操刀设计,创作灵感来自三大主题:代表法国的六边形、代表“光之城”巴黎的光芒,以及代表埃菲尔铁塔的原铁镶嵌。
