Science School of Quantitative Ecology 2024

Science School of Quantitative Ecology 2024

Published: Wednesday 23.10.2024
On Monday, 23. 09. 2024, a group of enthusiastic young ecological researchers from Charles University (Czech Republic), the University of Bayreuth (Germany) and other European research institutions travelled to Wallenfels, Germany. For one week, they participated together in the Science School on Quantitative Ecology (bit.ly/SSoQE) - a course organised jointly by researchers from Charles University, the Czech Academy of Sciences and the University of Bayreuth to equip participants with advanced quantitative skills vital for modern ecological research and to foster Czech-German collaboration.
Animals in the Age of Humans: a unique book of interviews with scientists

Animals in the Age of Humans: a unique book of interviews with scientists

Published: Monday 14.10.2024
At the beginning of October, the book Animals in the Age of Humans by Lenka Vrtišková Nejezchlebová was introduced at Kampus Hybernská. The book is a collection of interviews about animals that the author conducted with twenty different scientists for Deník N. Among the interviewed experts we can find the names of eight scientists from the Faculty of Science, Charles University. The interviews are now being published in book, accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Martina Fischmeister.

Bakala Foundation supports talents in the Science Program at Charles University

Published: Wednesday 9.10.2024
The Bakala Foundation will newly support students of the interdisciplinary Bachelor's Science Program which has been running for the third year at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University.As part of this collaboration, scholarships will be awarded to four students, each receiving financial support covering their annual tuition fees. This unique Science program, taught in English, is designed for exceptionally talented students from around the world and is the only program of its kind in the Czech Republic.
Groundbreaking Study Reveals New Insights into Anaerobic Ciliate and Methanogen Symbiosis

Groundbreaking Study Reveals New Insights into Anaerobic Ciliate and Methanogen Symbiosis

Published: Tuesday 8.10.2024
A recent study has uncovered critical details about the association between anaerobic ciliates and methanogenic archaea, a relationship that has fascinated scientists for over decades. Researchers from the Faculty of Science, Charles University, and University of Rhode Island have used advanced genetic techniques and microscopy to study this relationship in 32 species of free-living anaerobic ciliates, primarily from the order Metopida. The findings highlight previously unknown patterns of host-symbiont specificity, providing groundbreaking insights into the complex interplay between these microorganisms.
Understanding the Liver Fibrosis: Insights from Alagille Syndrome

Understanding the Liver Fibrosis: Insights from Alagille Syndrome

Published: Thursday 3.10.2024
What determines how much scar tissue one develops in the liver when suffering from liver disease (so-called fibrosis)?” A little fibrosis is normal and helps repair after injury, but often the fibrosis escalates, leading to liver failure. To answer this, researchers from Faculty of Science, Charles University, Jan Mašek, Ph.D. and colleagues, and Karolinska Institute studied a genetic disease called Alagille syndrome, which is characterized by surprisingly mild liver fibrosis despite severe liver disease (pericellular fibrosis instead of bridging).
