“Chromatin Architecture and Gene Regulation by Actin and Myosin in Health and Disease” Chromosomes are arranged in distinct chromosome territories, within which chromatin is further organized into chromatin compartments and topologically associating domains (TADs). By orchestrating DNA loops and promoter-enhancer interactions, this spatial organization of the genome plays a crucial role in gene expression and…

Lecture „The role of ryanodine receptors in muscle function“ Ryanodine receptors (RyR) are the Ca2+ release channel of skeletal muscle, which are responsible for rapidly releasing a large amount of Ca2+ upon electrical stimulation to evoke contraction. In the resting muscle, RyR leak Ca2+ and require the expenditure of energy to maintain steady state Ca2+…

“Ontogeny of zebrafish erythropoietic waves” Hematopoiesis is the process of blood formation, which occurs in multiple waves during vertebrate development. In zebrafish, the first wave initiates before 24 hours post-fertilization with the generation of primitive myeloid cells from cephalic mesoderm and primitive erythrocytes in the intermediate cell mass. The first definitive wave is transient, and…

“Regulation of microtubule organization in glioblastoma cells by GIT2 phosphorylation” Glioblastoma, the most aggressive common type of brain cancer in humans, carries a very poor prognosis for patient survival. Microtubules are critical for cell division and mesenchymal migration, processes that strongly influence tumor viability and invasiveness. While the reorganization of highly dynamic microtubules is central…

“How Cells Keep DNA Replication in Check” Accurate DNA replication is the foundation of genome stability and cell survival. Our study uncovers a key “gatekeeper” complex that ensures the molecular machinery starting DNA replication is properly assembled and regulated. When this control breaks down, replication becomes uncoordinated, leading to stress, genetic instability, and changes often…

Dear colleagues and friends, This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Prof. Milan Hašek (October 4, 1925), a giant of Czech immunology. He was not only an outstanding scientist, immunologist, biologist, and physician, but also an inspiring mentor to an entire generation of researchers, many of whom emigrated after 1968 and became…
