I am delighted to share our Bio-protocol, that provides full automation of sequential derivatization overlapped with GC-HRMS analysis to provide confident identification of metabolites in blood-based samples—making it a valuable tool for achieving reliable and robust results. The detailed protocol accompanies resources of the RECETOX Biomarker Analytical Laboratories: 📌 Publication: https://lnkd.in/e6nbycyn 📌 Data: https://lnkd.in/eFjDABgt 📌 Spectral library: https://lnkd.in/eS4iycS9 A huge thank you to all my collaborators at PAL System, Thermo Fisher Scientific and my colleagues at RECETOX for their invaluable contributions. #automation #derivatization #GC #HRMS

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇 | ✨ The 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐗 center successfully completed a project "𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐬". 👀 There is growing evidence of adverse trends in male reproductive health, including a rise in male infertility and testicular cancer cases. 👉 Endocrine-disrupting chemicals, abbreviated as EDCs, are discussed as one of the main causes of these harmful trends. 🤞Researchers have therefore focused on methods for their assessment. Since animal testing is currently the most widely used method but is problematic for various reasons, scientists have been exploring ways to incorporate methods that study the effects of substances at the cellular and tissue levels. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/etihB5cN #ecotoxicology #reproductivehealth

AGEING-CZ: hledání řešení pro nezvratné stárnutí české populace Projekt vedený Ekonomicko-správní fakultou Masarykovy univerzity propojuje ekonomy, sociální epidemiology, geriatrické specialisty a další odborníky. Společně hledají systémová opatření, jak udržet zdravotní a sociální péči funkční a dostupnou, až počet seniorů rapidně vzroste – při současném poklesu ekonomicky aktivních obyvatel. Mimo jiné se zaměřují i na analýzu chronických onemocnění, která se začínají objevovat už kolem 45. roku života, a na prevenci nerovností v přístupu k péči. ❓ Jaké finanční a personální výzvy čekají české zdravotnictví a sociální služby? ❓ Proč je pro efektivní reformy zásadní důsledná prevence a práce s daty? ❓ Jak moc hrozí nerovnosti v přístupu k péči, pokud stát nezačne jednat včas?

𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐘 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 | 🇪🇺🌱 The European Commission and the European Environment Agency (EEA) have released the second "Zero pollution monitoring and outlook 2025" report along with the fourth "Air quality outlook" report. 💡 These documents provide a comprehensive overview of the EU’s progress towards achieving the ambitious zero pollution targets set for 2030. 🤝 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐗, as a member of the Zero Pollution Action Plan Stakeholder Platform, contributes to discussions on the proper targeting of monitoring goals. 👇 More about the information and findings of the new reports on our website. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dJcrhACx #ZeroPollution #RECETOX

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 | In January 2025, a new international project 𝐃𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐏𝟒𝐇 was launched. The project utilizes digital twin technology to create sophisticated simulations and analyses of biological processes. 🫁 RECETOX will focus on creating a case study aimed at improving the assessment of exposure to airborne dust (PM2.5 and PM10) in Brno. 🏃🏽♀️🏃 Initial testing will take place on a small scale in the Lužánky park area, where students from the sports gymnasium will assist with data collection. 👥 On Thursday, February 20th, the head of the study, Ondřej Mikeš, along with researcher Simona Šatková, visited the students to introduce the basic concepts and principles of air quality measurement. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eQDSnjj2 #airpollution #dtrip4h #digitaltwin
