Our PhD student Tereza Dolejšková is representing our lab at the ECE 2026 with an oral presentation on "The role of juvenile hormone in innate immunity" in Tours, France. #ECE2026Tours

Great workshop on Molecular and Developmental Biology of Drosophila. Thanks to the organizers and speakers for a well-run and insightful #EMBOdrosophila

A brand-new Science Sketch has just been published in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social 🎉 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ti... We’re especially proud that the author is one of our own PhD students Tereza Dolejšková from the Laboratory of Molecular Integrative Physiology in Drosophila ( @drosophylab.bsky.social)

The new opinion article in Trends in Biochemical Sciences by Pavla Nedbalova and Tomas Dolezal (@drosophylab.bsky.social) from Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (@kmbg-jcu.bsky.social) provides new insights into the complex role of adenosine!

I am excited to share our opinion article in TIBS @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social providing new insights into the complex role of adenosine as a sensor monitoring the balance between cell activity and nutrient supply: authors.elsevier.com/a/1msKv3S6Gf... @drosophylab.bsky.social

Excited to share the newest publication from the Alex Bruce lab! PhD students M. Stiborová, A. Hauserová & R. Collier show that p38-MAPKs drive primitive endoderm specification in an ICM-autonomous manner, independent of cavity expansion. @kmbg-jcu.bsky.social l academic.oup.com/reproduction...

ICM-autonomous regulation of mouse blastocyst primitive endoderm formation by p38-MAPK is independent of cavity expansion

Abstract. During early mouse blastocyst ICM maturation, we previously described that pharmacological inhibition of p38-MAPK (p38-MAPKi) significantly impai

My main postdoc work is now out :) In the group of @tomtom-auer.bsky.social with Justine Pascual, @bruzz-1.bsky.social , Noemi Sgammeglia , with crucial collaboration with @dahaniel.muench.bio and @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our department spent the weekend in Šumava for the annual PhD retreat — sharing research, ideas, and great company. Between sessions we hiked, enjoyed good food, and soaked in the autumn scenery. Thanks to everyone who made it such a great mix of work and fun! @fscusb.bsky.social

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi "for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance" Stay tuned for more. #NobelPrize

Immune cells don’t just fight infection—they manage the body’s energy too. A Trends in Biochemical Sciences spotlight on Nedbalova et al. shows they release adenosine, signaling other tissues to dial down energy use. sciencedirect.com/science/arti... elifesciences.org/articles/105...

Macrophages promote tumor growth by phagocytosis-mediated cytokine amplification in Drosophila

Hirooka et al. show that Draper-mediated phagocytosis induces Upd3 in macrophages, amplifying tumor-derived Upds and activating JAK/STAT signaling, which promotes RasV12/scrib tumor growth in Drosophi...

Adenozin - známá molekula, na kterou se molekulární biologové z Jihočeské univerzity podívali jinou optikou. Výsledek jejich výzkumu zaujal prestižní časopis Science. Na první pohled složitý mechanismus, na druhý už nesmírně zajímavý a univerzální proces, který se děje v každém organismu.
