Influence of Long-Distance Bicycle Riding on Serum/Urinary Biomarkers of Prostate Cancer
(MDPI, 2016-03-17)Herein, we present a study focused on the determination of the influence of long-distance (53 km) bicycle riding on levels of chosen biochemical urinary and serum prostate cancer (PCa) biomarkers total prostate-specific ... -
Specific Magnetic Isolation of E6 HPV16 Modified Magnetizable Particles Coupled with PCR and Electrochemical Detection
(MDPI, 2016-05-01)The majority of carcinomas that were developed due to the infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) are caused by high-risk HPV types, HPV16 and HPV18. These HPV types contain the E6 and E7 oncogenes, so the fast detection ... -
Biological Activity and Molecular Structures of Bis(benzimidazole) and Trithiocyanurate Complexes
(MDPI, 2015-06-01)1-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl)-N-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)methanamine (abb) and 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethylsulfanylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (tbb) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis. These bis(benzimidazoles) ... -
Determination of Zinc, Cadmium, Lead, Copper and Silver Using a Carbon Paste Electrode and a Screen Printed Electrode Modified with Chromium(III) Oxide
(MDPI, 2017-08-01)In this study, the preparation and electrochemical application of a chromium(III) oxide modified carbon paste electrode (Cr-CPE) and a screen printed electrode (SPE), made from the same material and optimized for the simple, ... -
Sarcosine up-regulates expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression of metastatic models of prostate cancer
(PLOS, 2016-11-08)The effects of sarcosine on the processes driving prostate cancer (PCa) development remain still unclear. Herein, we show that a supplementation of metastatic PCa cells (androgen independent PC-3 and androgen dependent ... -
Spiropyran-zinc interaction characterized by fluorescence spectrometry and capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection
(Mendel University in Brno, 2017-12-31)Zinc is an important biogenic element which is able to connect with indicators such as a spiropyran. The spiropyran is known for its fluorescent character and selectivity towards zinc ions (and some other metal ions, e.g. ... -
Plasmonic Enhancement and Polarization Dependence of Nonlinear Upconversion Emissions from Single Gold Nanorod@SiO2@CaF2:Yb3+,Er3+ Hybrid Core-Shell-Satellite Nanostructures
(Springer Nature, 2017-05-19)Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) have recently become an attractive nonlinear fluorescence material for use in bioimaging because of their tunable spectral characteristics and exceptional photostability. ... -
Utility of several microsatellite markers for the genetic characterisation of three ex situ populations of threatened caprine taxa (Capra aegagrus, C. cylindricornis and C. falconeri)
(ARCHIV FUR TIERZUCHT, 2015-10-07)Caprines belong to the most endangered group of mammals and artiodactyls suffering from many negative human impacts. Fortunately, many of them are protected and managed by national and international legislation and in situ ... -
Simultaneous Automatic Electrochemical Detection of Zinc, Cadmium, Copper and Lead Ions in Environmental Samples Using a Thin-Film Mercury Electrode and an Artificial Neural Network
(MDPI, 2015-01-01)In this study a device for automatic electrochemical analysis was designed. A three electrodes detection system was attached to a positioning device, which enabled us to move the electrode system from one well to another ... -
Analysis of neural crest-derived clones reveals novel aspects of facial development
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2016-08-03)Cranial neural crest cells populate the future facial region and produce ectomesenchyme-derived tissues, such as cartilage, bone, dermis, smooth muscle, adipocytes, and many others. However, the contribution of individual ... -
Catalyst–substrate interaction and growth delay in vapor–liquid–solid nanowire growth
(IOP Publishing, 2018-03-26)Understanding of the initial stage of nanowire growth on a bulk substrate is crucial for the rational design of nanowire building blocks in future electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here, we provide in situ scanning ... -
