Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are of a great importance for bone tissue engineering. We compared ASCs obtained by liposuction under two pressures (-200 mmHg and -700 mmHg). The number and proliferation activity of cells isolated under -700 mmHg (ASC-H) were higher than in cells isolated under -200 mmHg (ASC-L). However, the ASC-L was more active in osteogenic differentiation, as manifested by a higher intensity of fluorescence of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin in these cells. The adhesion and growth of ASCs were then studied on Ti-6Al-4V samples either unmodified (K, roughness parameter R-a = 280 nm) or modified by shot blasting and tarnishing A, R-a = 200 nm), vibratory finishing (B, R-a = 100 nm) and vibratory finishing, shot blasting and polishing (C, R-a = 80 nm). All modified samples were more wettable than the K samples. On day 1 after seeding, the size of cell spreading area on some modified samples was lower than on K samples, namely on B samples in ASC-L, on B and C in ASC-H and on A in control MG-63 cells. On day 3, the cell number on some modified samples became higher than on K samples, namely on C samples (ASC-L), on B (ASC-H) and on B and C s (MG-63 cells). On day 7, the numbers of ASC-H and MG-63 cells on all modified samples evened out and became significantly higher than on K samples. On ASC-L samples, the highest cell numbers were obtained on A samples. Thus, all studied modifications of Ti-6Al-4V enhanced growth of ASCs and human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells.

Simulation of adhesion and transmigration imune-cells through capillary wall
Morgaenko, Katsiarina ; Čmiel, Vratislav (referee) ; Chmelíková, Larisa (advisor)
Teoretická část této práce obsahuje biofyzikální popis endoteliální vrstvy a transmigrace buněk přes tuto vrstvu. Dále popisuje charakteristiky všech důležitých komponent pro vytvoření modelu cévy in vitro (endoteliální buňky, kmenové buňky, leukocyty, Calcein AM, PKH26). Praktická část práce je věnována sestavení in-vitro modelů dvojrozměrných a trojrozměrných endoteliálních vrstev, jejich zobrazení pomoci mikroskopu a testování interakce leukocytů a kmenových buněk s těmito endoteliálními vrstvami. V závěru je navrhnut nejlepší tvar a velikost mikrofluidních systémů simulujících kapiláry.

Cell fusion and carcinogenesis
MARŠÍKOVÁ, Hana
The origin of cancer remains enigmatic. The object of this study was to find out the impact of BMDCs fusion without any carcinogens on cancer progression. The arising instability of genome could give rise to malignancy.

Nanotechnologies in regenerative medicine
Syková, Eva
Magnetic resonance imaging provides a noninvase method to study the fate of transplanted cells in vivo. Various biocomatible scaffolds based on non-woven nanofibres (products of ELMARCO or Technical University Liberec), have been developed for bridging tissue defects and for use as 3D stem cell careiers.
