Pochopení regenerace jaterního parenchymu, která je dlouhodobým výzkumným tématem Laboratoře nádorové léčby a regenerace tkáně, je klíčové pro další rozvoj jaterní chirurgie.
Na podkladě návrhu rektorů českých univerzit je každoročně udělováno Nadací Josefa, Marie a Zdeňky Hlávkových ocenění nadaným vysokoškolským studentům.
Survival in multiple myeloma (MM) has developed favorably over the past decades for reasons that have been ascribed to new medications and treatment. However, development of survival over a long period and comparison to other hematopoietic neoplasms (HN) is less well known.

Familial occurrence of oropharyngeal and other HPV-associated cancers (OPC)
Prof. Kari Hemminki (European Research Area Chair of Translational Oncology) will provide presentation associate with investigation on Familial occurrence of oropharyngeal and other HPV-associated cancers (OPC) at section Head & Neck Forum – Epidemiology and Screening“ of the EUROGIN meeting.
CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATION IN HEALTHY PERSONS
Blood white cells of healthy individuals may contain non-recurrent, random chromosomal aberrations (CAs), which disappear with cell turnover as they provide no growth advantage. These include chromatid breaks, fragmented or missing parts of chromosomes and fusions resulting in dicentric and ring chromosomes. These nonspecific CAs have been used in monitoring of occupational populations exposed to potential carcinogenic chemicals and radiation.
Česká transplantační společnost vyhlásila vítěze Nejlepší vědecké publikace roku 2020. Cenu získala RNDr. Vladimíra Moulisová, PhD, která je první autorkou původního článku „Nový morfologický víceúrovňový systém hodnocení kvality decellularizovaných jaterních skeletů“ (“Novel morphological multi-scale evaluation system for quality assessment of decellularized liver scaffolds”).
Členové Laboratoře Farmakogenomiky (K. Šeborová, P. Souček a R. Václavíková) a Laboratoře nádorové léčby a regenerace tkáně (P. Vodička) ve spolupráci s prof. L. Robem z Fakultní nemocnice Královské Vinohrady nedávno publikovali přehledový článek v časopise Cancers (IF 6.1, Q1 in Oncology).
T-cells as main actors in anti-tumor immunity
The long-suspected role of the importance of immunity in cancer has gained strong experimental support in the past decade. Infiltrating immune cells can function to control tumor growth or to help create an immunosuppressive environment in which the tumor can thrive. Immune surveillance by T-cells in human cancers is one of the key mechanisms of anti-cancer immunity.
Students for the following Ph.D. study topics are sought in the doctoral study programme:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs in people with an underlying liver disease of either viral or toxic origin. It is usually preceded by cirrhosis. In the Czech Republic alcoholic liver disease is the major etiological factor. Tumor microenvironment is composed of myeloid (innate immunity) and lymphoid (adaptive immunity) lineages. Infiltrating immune cells can function to control tumor growth or to help create an immunosuppressive environment in which the tumor can thrive. The long suspected role for immune surveillance in human cancer has gained strong experimental support in the past decade. The concepts of ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ tumors refer to signs of inflammation (hot) when the tumor has already been infiltrated by T cells, which usually correlates with a response to immunotherapy. Even more gratifying, these scientific breakthroughs have also benefited clinical oncology in the context of diagnostics, prognostication, drug development and therapy.
