L1CAM and its role in cellular senescence
Mrázková, Blanka ; Hodný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Hubálek Kalbáčová, Marie (referee) ; Rohlena, Jakub (referee)
Cellular senescence, originally defined as irreversible cell cycle arrest, was shown to act in organism as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, cellular senescence is considered an anti-cancer barrier and it beneficially contributes to processes such as wound healing and tissue regeneration. On the other hand, its longer persistence in the organism, usually when not eliminated by the immune system in elder age, cellular senescence contributes to age-related diseases and ageing itself. Moreover, senescent cells emerge as a result of radio- and chemo- therapy and can lead to detrimental effects when not eliminated. There is also accumulated evidence that senescent cells can overcome the proliferation barrier and become malignant (often after a cancer therapy) rendering senescence original definition invalid. In effort to improve the quality of health and life and to minimize the cancer risk after therapies, senescent cells have become one of the most interesting subjects for a targeted therapy. There is a promising potential in developing effective tools, namely drugs specifically killing senescent cells or reducing their detrimental effect (senolytics) that focus on senescent cells elimination in order to rejuvenate the organism, to extend a life span, and to prevent ageing-associated diseases and...

Senescent cells and their elimination by the immune system
Novotný, Ondřej ; Reiniš, Milan (advisor) ; Mrázková, Blanka (referee)
Cell senescence is a type of cell cycle arrest in which the spectrum of the expressed genes changes specifically, also a change in the shape, size and other properties of a cell occurs. Senescent cells secrete a specific set of substances that affect the surrounding tissue, immune system and themselves. All this due to the induction of signalling pathways, inherent to individual types of senescence. The senescent cells accumulate in the body both during pathological conditions and during the natural process of aging and tissue renewal, with varying intensity depending on the type of tissue and organism. The consequence of their presence in the body is often ambivalent - for example, they are an effective mechanism of defence against tumour growth, but at the same time they can be its cause. The positive elimination of senescent cells usually has a positive effect - the immune system is responsible for this in vivo. Studies mapping the natural rate of accumulation and elimination of senescent cells in individual organs, together with new immunotherapeutic elimination procedures, are an important tool for developing new approaches to treating a wide range of human diseases and potentially to prolong human life.

Internal Communication on Example of Microsoft
Mrázková, Blanka ; Dvořáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kleibl, Jiří (referee)
The master's thesis deals with one of modern methods of human resources management, the internal communication. It examines relations between corporate culture and internal communication as well as application of internal communication into business strategy in order to raise efectivness of businesses. The thesis also points out present level of internal communication in Czech companies. The thesis includes detailed analysis of formal and informal communication tools and puts emphasis on necessity of measurement of effects brought by internal communication strategy. Theoretical knowledge is used to analyse internal communication in Microsoft Czech Republic. Evaluation of internal communication in Microsoft is based on interviews with managers and questionnaire survey realized accross the whole company. The main goal of the thesis is to set a range of suggestions to improve and successfully develop internal communication in Microsoft.
