The department is focused on the development of artificial tissues and we also try to transfer newly developed technologies and know‑how into clinical practice. We are developing the technology of controlled drug delivery from nano/microfiber scaffolds with liposomes for the targeted release of drugs into the defect. We are developing artificial scaffolds for the regeneration of bone and cartilage in clinical practice. We are developing in vitro models of different tissues for toxicological screening of nanoparticals and chemical compounds and for the testing of the effects of antiosteoporotic drugs.

The Effect of Osteoblast Isolation Methods from Adult Rats on Osteoclastogenesis in Co-Cultures

Cell co-cultures represent the future of in vitro studies important for testing of tissue substitutes and research of diseases. During the development of the co-culture of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the influence of the osteoblast isolation method on the formation of osteoclasts was investigated. It was found that the explant culture isolation method induces the formation of a higher number of osteoclasts, with a larger area than the explant culture with enzymatic pre-treatment method.
