- New GAČR Project: Metabolic Energy Substrates in Avian Blood
Our laboratory is a co-investigator in the newly funded Czech Science Foundation project 26-22858S, led by MVDr. Oldřich Tomášek, Ph.D. from the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Czech Academy of Sciences (IVB). The project team also includes collaborators from the Faculty of Science, Charles University. The project, “Metabolic energy substrates in … Read more - New Review Publication on Insect Hormone Quantification and Manipulation
We are pleased to highlight a new collaborative review published in Current Opinion in Insect Science, co-authored with colleagues Fernando G. Noriega, Guy Bloch, Martin Moos, Petr Šimek, and Marek Jindra. The article, “Approaches to quantify and manipulate insect hormone signals,” provides an up-to-date overview of state-of-the-art methods used to … Read more - New Collaborative Publication with the Algatech Centre: Cyanophycinase as a Key Regulator of Heterotrophy in Cyanobacteria
We are proud to share a new joint publication arising from our long-term collaboration with Roman Sobotka’s research group at the Algatech Centre (Institute of Microbiology, CAS). The study reveals a previously unknown role of cyanophycinase (CphB) in enabling heterotrophic growth in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The Algatech team discovered that deleting … Read more - We have organized 13th Conference of Czech Mass Spectrometry
195 participants registered, with 23 lectures, 14 short talks, and 55 posters presented. The event was held under the main organizational lead of Martin Moos. Prominent scientific figures and dozens of experts in mass spectrometry and proteomics arrived in České Budějovice to attend the 13th Conference of the Czech Society … Read more - Professor Alexander Makarov visited our laboratory
Professor Alexander Makarov visited our laboratory as part of the Conference of Czech Mass Spectrometry. During his visit, Professor Makarov was introduced to our ongoing research activities and the key instrumentation used in our projects. Members of our team had the opportunity to discuss current challenges in mass spectrometry and … Read more - Adenosine is a sensor of a balance between cell activity and nutrient supply
How does a cell measure its current activity in order to ask its neighborhood for an adequate supply of nutrients? Pavla Nedbalova and Tomas Dolezal’s team from the Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, have found a possible mechanism where adenosin could be at the center. The discovery, The … Read more - New Publication: Metabolomic Signatures of Cold Adaptation Across 43 Drosophila Specie
We are pleased to highlight a new collaborative publication led by Vladimír Koštál’s group (Institute of Entomology, BC CAS), with major contributions from Martin Moos and our metabolomics team. The study provides the most comprehensive metabolomic comparison to date of cold adaptation across 43 Drosophila species, spanning tropical to boreal climates. The article … Read more
