Cytoskeleton Remodeling as a Potential Regulator of Metabolic Rewiring in Liver Cancer Cells Emerging evidence has revealed that physical stimuli from the cellular microenvironment play a crucial role in transmitting mechanical signals that regulate key cellular functions such as proliferation, migration, and malignant transformation [1-3]. It is now clear that tumor cells are subjected to…

Preparation and Optimization of Inorganic Crystals for the Detection of Ionizing Radiation

During the internship, the student will become familiar with the characterization and preparation of crystals for scintillation detectors of ionizing radiation. The crystals will be prepared using the modern micro-pulling-down method, which is currently available only at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The influence of composition (stoichiometry) of gadolinium-gallium-aluminum garnet-based…

Detection of pathogens or antibodies against pathogens using the series of LSPR active nanocomposites

The main aim of this study is to develop a new detection system for selected bacteria and viruses, as well as their proteins and antibodies against them. The detection system is focused on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) where pathogen/protein/antibody attached to the LSPR sensors (containing metal nanoparticles) changes the optical and electrical characteristics.…

Ph.D. thesis: Study of the influence of transients phenomena in piezoceramics in terms of fracture-mechanical response

The aim of this work is to determine and explain the change in mechanical behaviour due to transients with emphasis on the fracture mechanical response in selected lead-free piezioceramics. The main goal of the doctoral thesis will be to study the mechanical and fracture behaviour of piezoceramics (for example BTO, BTZC, etc.) during its transition…

Ph.D. thesis: Microscopic processes at the fatigue crack tip

Fatigue crack growth is a process that is described macroscopically by quantities such as the stress intensity factor, J-integral or plastic part of the J-integral. There are many models of crack propagation at the microscopic level that consider plastic deformation around the crack tip, but which differ in details. Advances in experimental methods allow more…
