Super excited for Immunology Meets Philosophy Vol. 2! ✨ Can’t wait to attend and hear insights from brilliant scientists/academicians in this unique field!

That’s fantastic news 👏 It will be incredibly useful for researchers working with germ-free animal models. Looking forward to seeing more updates from the lab’s research 👍

Latest collaborative work from the lab with Jan Cerny Laboratory of Cell Immunology at Charles University and Marianna Boes UMC Utrecht. Open access in Gut Microbes “Microbiota modulate immune cell populations and drive dynamic structural changes in gut-associated lymphoid tissue”: lnkd.in/eRxh2WMj

Great event! Do register and attend.

Paper in Nature 150 years ago. Beats reading any single-cell experiment…

Delighted to share that I’ve been awarded the prestigious Polish-Czech Lead Agency Grant! 🎉Our project will explore how the sinonasal microbiota modulates airway immunity & allergic inflammation, in collaboration with Dr Sabina Górska. @mbuavcr.bsky.social #Nasalmicrobiome #Airways #Allergy #GAČR

Congratulations 👏 Pavla Bojarová, head of Laboratory of Biotransformation, has become a professor in the field of Biomedical Engineering. The ceremonial handover of the of the appointment decrees to new professors from the hands of the President Petr Pavel took place in Carolinum. 📷@MŠMT

In the next fewdys we will enjoy what we like the most. The Food, the microbiota and the immunity. Dr. Kverka is starting the FMI2025 conference!

Academia relies on unpaid labour — but researchers should think carefully about what kind of work they’re willing to give to for-profit organizations for free, says Dritjon Gruda. https://go.nature.com/3ZFMXZ5

👏 Gratulujeme Štěpánu Coufalovi z MBÚ k získání ceny Učené společnosti za rok 2025 v kategorii mladší vědecký pracovník. Cenu převzal 19. května v pražském Karolinu. Proč si Štěpán Coufal vybral imunologii? Více na webu 🔗 mbu.cas.cz/aktuality/ce... (foto: Pavel Coufal) #immunology

A few years back, we experimentally evolved a poorly growth-promoting strain of #Lplantarum and isolated strains with enhanced benefit in insects We then asked: how far can these benefits be optimized? Do they persist in well-fed mammals? 🦠🐭 Find out in our new paper now online! Thread 👇

#theconferencetoendallconferences - things are happening, there's so much of them I don't have time for posting ... the program took shape, (most) talks are assigned, issues on which we didn't agree got resolved, new emerged. On Tuesday we visited the place in woods and it was beautiful 😉

To the #Moon!!! Our new article summarizing our idea to send a satellite named #LUGO to the Moon to explore the Irregular Mare Patches and search for lava tunnels is out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1l2vGLWHGB...

Only 6 days left! Submit your abstract to #TMHMS25! marinesymbioses.eu/abstract/ Hope to see you there!

This will be a fantastic meeting 👇🏻 A little bird tells me that the abstract deadline has been extended so go for it! There will be plenty of opportunities for ECRs to present 🧫🧬🔬🧪

Afternoon session kicked off by Irma Schabussova with the talk ☝️ No brain? No problem. Bacterial vesicles still know how to talk to your immune system

Best short talk winners 🥳

#DayOfImmunology 2025 starting... @schwarzergnoto.bsky.social, Czech young immunologist, ČIS

Just 1 week to go! Celebrating the #DayofImmunology on 29.4. at @mbuavcr.bsky.social with GnotoCon! Following the Gut-brain axis, we are perfectly aligned with this years theme of Brain and Immunity 😃

Pathway analysis isn’t one-size-fits-all: what works for gene expression can mislead in metabolomics. This sharp piece explains why metabolite data require biological context, careful annotation, and new tools. “Metabolites are not genes” doi.org/10.1038/s422...

It’s time to introduce slugs! These slimy creatures are now taking over @svobodalab.bsky.social lab and I am in part responsible for keeping them alive. Why do we have them in the lab? I’ll try to explain in this thread.

Itai Yanai is now putting together with Oded Rechavi and others the Woodstock of Biology 2 & Night Science conference to integrate some of Itai's ideas into a scientific meeting. #theconferencetoendallconferences More info & registration here: woodstock.img.cas.cz

🔬 Molekulární biolog Peter Fabian se věnuje studiu vzácného genetického onemocnění: alkaptonurie. Proč při alkaptonurii zčernají chrupavky a kosti, jak se mu podařilo vybudovat vlastní vědeckou skupinu v Brně a jaké výzvy přináší návrat do Česka po letech strávených v zahraničí? 👇 🔗 1url.cz/M17Nf

📢 For all DNA fiber enthusiasts! 🟥🟩 We are thrilled to announce the release of our long-awaited AI-based workflow for the automated and quantitative analysis of DNA fibers. It's an exciting step forward—check it out on bioRxiv! lnkd.in/dQWUPtsP

Not to be missed! Day of Immunology 29.4.2025 will be celebrated by the Gnotobiology symposium! Great scientific as well as social program by CIS and Czech Young Immunologists at @mbuavcr.bsky.social

Kroky politické reprezentace USA otřásají tamní vědou. Poslední týdny probíhá nátlak na univerzity, aby se vzdaly autonomie a svobody bádání a snahu cenzurovat vědecké poznání, které se z ideologického hlediska nehodí. Ač jsme obvykle apolitičtí, sepsali jsme toto vyjádření 👇 1/3

Welcome to the official account of the Institute of Microbiology of the CAS. We will be happy to share with you our new publications and all the science that happens in our labs! 🧫🦠🔬 Stay Curious! Budeme zde sdílet publikace našich vědců a vědkyň, novinky z výzkumu na MBÚ a další aktuality.
