Application on nanoparticles in bio-medicine.
Bělinová, Tereza ; Hubálek Kalbáčová, Marie (advisor) ; Beranová, Jana (referee)
During last few years nanoparticles of different origin have been used in biomedicine. Their interactions with cells are however a big point of concern and so further research is needed to be done regarding their properties, internalization into cells and their fate within the cell. All of this is needed for correct selection of proper nanoparticles for bioimaging and also for future use in human medicine. One of the main parts of research is deep understanding of interactions of nanodiamonds and silicon based nanoparticles with cells, because of their highly unique properties (autofluorescence), biocompatibility and in case of silicon nanoparticles also their degradability.

Interactions of cells with nanoparticles for bio-medical applications
Bělinová, Tereza ; Hubálek Kalbáčová, Marie (advisor) ; Benson, Veronika (referee) ; Topinka, Jan (referee)
In the past decades, nanoparticles have been viewed as a potentially powerful platform for various applications in biomedical sciences. The possible application of nanoparticles varies from drug delivery agents to novel imaging platforms and surely, some application potential still remains hidden. Thus, it is necessary to broadly study their in vitro behavior in order to assess the precise theranostic potential as well as to distinguish possible threats to human health. Even though nanoparticles are getting more and more attention in current research, still only a limited amount of information is available, especially regarding interactions of ultra-small (< 5 nm) nanoparticles with biological environment and cells. The aim of the work presented herein is to provide the reader with information concerning interactions of various ultra-small nanoparticles (silicon-based, gold, nanodiamonds) with biological environment and human cells. Dose- and time-dependent influence of the various nanoparticles on behavior of different human cells (osteoblasts, monocytes, keratinocytes, mesenchymal stem cells) was established under different conditions, stressing out the importance of protein corona (a layer of proteins originating from cultivation medium attached to nanoparticles). Biocompatibility of two...

Effects of silicon nanoparticles on human cells
Bělinová, Tereza ; Hubálek Kalbáčová, Marie (advisor) ; Janoušková, Olga (referee)
In past years, nanoparticles have been studied as possible platform to be used in biomedicine. In order to establish the application potential of nanoparticles, its impact to biological systems have to be determined. Herein, several silicon-based nanoparticles of different origins were studied in respect of their influence on metabolic activity of human cells, namely osteoblast cell line SAOS-2 and monocytic cell line THP-1. The obtained results proposed that the impact of nanoparticles on cells is highly dependent on cultivation conditions in which nanoparticles are administered to cells. Furthermore, microscopy experiments were implemented in order to localize the particles within cells, where conventional microscopy limitations are evident. Key words: silicon nanoparticles, quantum dots, cell-particle interaction, cytotoxicity
