Monitoring of mitochondria in living cells using fluorescence methods
Taliánová, Eliška ; Čejková, Darina (referee) ; Čmiel, Vratislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of monitoring mitochondria and evaluating their activity. The structure and function of cellular mitochondria are briefly discussed. Contains a list of commonly available fluorescent dyes. It investigates the possibilities of influencing mitochondria in vitro. It deals with the influence of mitochondrial membrane potential by means of various concentrations of glucose and subsequently evaluates mitochondrial activity using the dye JC-10.

Evaluation of mitochondrial activity in living cells using fluorescence methods
Fedorov, Vasilii ; Mézl, Martin (referee) ; Čmiel, Vratislav (advisor)
Monitoring mitochondrial dynamics can help in the therapeutic treatment of serious diseases and slowing down the aging process. This work was parted into a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part, research was carried out in the field of mitochondria and methods of activity evaluation. In the practical part in the Python environment, an automatic algorithm for evaluating mitochondrial activity based on the analysis of morphological signs was implemented. The algorithm included image preprocessing, localization of mitochondria, segmentation, and calculation of morphological features such as number of mitochondria, total area, average area, circularity index, eccentricity index. We were able to get and perform an analysis on 16 microscopic images and confirm the success of an algorithm that could be used for drug discovery and testing purposes.
