The group led by assoc. prof. Pavel Hyršl recently marked several thousands of winter bees. In the laboratory, they will then investigate how bee immunity responds to specific stress conditions.The marking of bees took place at the Bee Research Institute, … Read More
12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is the most widely used diacylglycerol (DAG) mimetic agent and inducer of protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated cellular response in biomedical studies. TPA has been proposed as a pluripotent cell differentiation factor, but results obtained have been inconsistent. In … Read More
Conducting polymers (CP) can be used as pH- and/or electro-responsive components in various bioapplications, for example, in 4D smart scaffolds. The ability of CP to maintain conductivity under physiological conditions is, therefore, their crucial property. Unfortunately, the conductivity of the … Read More

Dear Colleagues, Insect pathogenic nematodes (entomopathogenic nematodes—EPNs) are lethal parasites to their hosts, and are frequently used as biological agents in the control of insect pests. Lethality may be as a result of the virulence factors provided by the nematodes … Read More
Individuals reared in captivity are exposed to distinct selection pressures and evolutionary processes causing genetic and phenotypic divergence from wild populations. Consequently, restocking with farmed individuals may represent a considerable risk for the fitness of free-living populations. Supportive breeding on … Read More
Dear colleagues, students and friends, we cordially invite you to doctoral defenses of our students – Marek Hampl (M. Buchtová’s laboratory) and Tomasz Radaszkiewicz (V. Bryja’s laboratory), which take place on Monday, 31.8.2020 in classroom A11/306 at 10:20, resp. 14.00:
Students from the Laboratory of Molecular Morphogenesis led by assoc. prof. Marcela Buchtová prepared an embryology workshop for high school students. The students first observed the different developmental stages of the chicken embryos and tried to recognize and identify them. … Read More
