Exosomes and their potential for use in biomedicine: Interview with our scientists on Friday on Czech Radio
Remember how we promised you an interview with our scientists on Czech Radio a while ago? And that you haven’t heard anything yet? Don’t worry, today is the day! There has been a change in the broadcast schedule, and the interview with scientists from the Center for Nanomaterials and Biotechnology at the Faculty of Science, UJEP, about exosomes and their potential for future use in biomedicine is scheduled for today! Tune in to Czech Radio North at 3:40 p.m. today and listen to the program “O čem se mluví” (What People Are Talking About).
At our Center for Nanomaterials and Biotechnology (CENAB), we are researching vesicles, or extracellular vesicles, which cells naturally release into their surroundings. They carry important molecules and can be a clue to diagnosis or an aid in drug delivery.
We detect vesicles using Nanosight, for example, and monitor how they enter cells using fluorescence microscopy. We work with vesicles from plant cultures, human cells, blood… and even slugs! We have bioreactors and sterile laboratories for processing them.
If you are interested in exosomes, you can watch a short video on how these miniature structures are changing biotechnology.
Dr. Regina Herma explains the functioning of cell vesicles in more detail in the following video, which was created on the occasion of Researchers’ Night 2022.
We talked about exosomes and research at the Center for Nanomaterials and Biotechnology (CENAB) with one of our guests on Czech Radio North, Michaela Kocholata, in this ScienceTalks podcast.
In addition to YouTube, you can also listen to our podcasts on Spotify and Soundcloud.
