RNDr. Alešem Bezroukem, Ph.D. [ URL "https://is.cun whois2/osoba/1425407670639099/?lang=en"] from the Institute of Medical Biophysics She is engaged in the study of ultrastructure of samples from the field of life and materi performs ultrastructure examination of animal tissues from experimental studies and human framework of research in human medicine. The ultrastructure of cultured cells from in vitr is also studied. More recently, research has focused on myocardium, liver and skeletal mus materials investigated are graphene and titanium dioxide nanoparticles and quantum dots. ****************************************************************************************** * Cultivation of dental pulp stem cells ****************************************************************************************** Leader: MUDr. Tomáš Soukup, Ph.D. [ URL "https://is.cuni.cz/webapps/whois2/osoba/181614111 lang=en"] , in collaboration with prof. Jakubem Suchánkem, Ph.D. [ URL "https://is.cuni.cz osoba/1470082513243120/?lang=en"] , and collaborators from the Dental Clinic of the Facult the National Hospital of the Czech Republic The laboratory focuses on stem cell research in dental pulp, where we systematically culti develop innovative cryopreservation methods and investigate cell behaviour in different en including nanofibrous carriers. We are involved in research on the development of novel ca drugs that have the potential to improve therapeutic effects in the treatment of various d minimizing side effects. ****************************************************************************************** * Controlled differentiation and reprogramming of cells ****************************************************************************************** MSc. Rishikaysh Pisal, Ph.D. [ URL "https://is.cuni.cz/webapps/whois2/osoba/10795408662287 prof. MUDr. Jaroslav Mokrý, Ph.D. [ URL "https://is.cuni.cz/webapps/whois2/osoba/123702468 lang=en"] The laboratory is dedicated to monitoring the effect of small molecules on stem and progen behavior, phenotype changes, alteration of the internal structure of cells, including agin rejuvenation. Other activities include microscopic investigation of organoids generated by cells.
