Open Access Conference Proceedings

Abstract: Today, there is considerable interest in the development of microfluidic chips that can be integrated into various analytical devices and further used for chemical or biological research. The microfluidic approach can reduce the size of all types of analytical laboratory equipment’s and improve their technological performances. [..] Read more

Abstract: With growing pressure for wide application of silver nanoparticles, the methods of their production have become increasingly important. Moreover, repurposing waste has been a globally acknowledged trend in the context of circular economy approaches in recent decades. [..] Read more

Abstract: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) combined with stem cell derived human cardiomyocytes (CM) enables dynamic follow-up of cardiac contractions (e.g. beating rate, contraction and relaxation times), simultaneously with other CM biomechanical properties. [..] Read more

Abstract: Several silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with biological effect were prepared by green synthesis. AgNPs were prepared from Vitis vinifera seeds (Merlos variety) used as wine production waste. [..] Read more

Abstract: Drugs are important xenobiotics in the environment. Their use increases with the growth of the human population, but also in agricultural primary production. [..] Read more

Abstract: African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) is a DNA virus of the Asfivirus genus of the Asfarviridae family that is found in blood, body fluids, and internal organs. ASFV was described more than 40 years ago. [..] Read more

Abstract: In this work, we report a facile method for a detection of mettalothionein (MT) - potential biomarker of tumor diseases. Combination of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma coupled to mass spectrometric detection (LA-ICP-MS) with sample pretreatment by magnetic particles modified by molecularly imprinted polymers (Mag-MIP) enables selective and sensitive protein detection and quantification. [..] Read more

Abstract: Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is an energy transfer process between a pair of light-sensitive molecules, where the donor fluorophore (initially in its electronic excited state) transfers energy to an acceptor chromophore. In this study, FRET was used to investigate the dimerization of metallothionein isoform MT-1A. [..] Read more

Abstract: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a powerful technique enabling visualization/detection of cellular components (e.g. overexpressed proteins) in tissue samples and thus ensuring timely recognition of a wide range of diseases. [..] Read more

Abstract: Antibody labeling with a signal-providing tag (e.g. an enzyme, chromophore, fluorophore, metal chelate, radioisotope, etc.) is a key procedure in bioanalytical techniques such an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot, or immunohistochemical analysis. [..] Read more

Abstract: In this work we have prepared and characterized several types of nanofibers to create unique nanofiber substrates as a medical device for long-term non-healing wound treating using cellular products. Our nanofibers are based on biodegradable polymers such as polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL), poly(vinyl)alcohol (PVA), polyethyleneimine (PEI) and hyaluronic acid. [..] Read more

Abstract: The growing interest in biodegradable products paves the way for the safest sustainable earth. Starch is an extensively studied, cost-effective, easily accessible, and highly trusted resource to produce biodegradable products in the present and future. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study is focused on diffusion of dyes in biopolymer-based hydrogels. These hydrogels are based on interaction between biopolymer-like electrolytes with oppositely charged surfactants. [..] Read more

Abstract: Various nanostructures, including liposomes, dendrimers, polymers, carbon or silicon materials, and metal nanoparticles seems to be evaluated as carriers in different gene delivery systems. Muscle cells are target of modern gene medicine, due to of the much pathology (arrhythmias, channels pathological mutation, abnormal apoptosis) with limited curability by traditional drugs. [..] Read more

Abstract: Worldwide production and consumption of pharmaceuticals increases every year. Due to the fact that these substances are not always completely eliminated in the human or animal body, subsequently get into the environment, which leads to a negative effect of certain constituents of natural ecosystems. [..] Read more

Abstract: Scented candles are used in many professions. Both gaseous and solid emissions are generated in the workplace by their combustion. [..] Read more

Abstract: Biochar represents ubiquitous material produced by pyrolysis of various organic materials. Mainly the biochar originating from waste organic biomass residues represents highly attractive material with the possible utilization as a soil conditioner in agriculture. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study presents the development of the lateral flow assay (LFIA) for the determination of undeclared chicken additives in meat products. In the test system, immunoglobulins were proposed as biomarkers for species identification. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study presents the results of pilot measurement, where the exposure of fine and ultrafine particulate matter was monitored. The measurement was performed in different workplaces, where these particles are produced unintentionally. [..] Read more

Abstract: Motor vehicle emissions substantially contribute to air pollution worldwide and cause serious health problems. While the deleterious effects of diesel exhaust particulate matter (PM) have been widely studied, much less attention is paid to toxicity of PM emitted by gasoline engines although they also produce considerable amount of PM.
