Řekne-li se Leonardo, vytanou nám na mysli názvy jeho nejznámějších malířských děl Madona ve skalách, Poslední večeře, Mona Lisa či Dáma s hranostajem. Teprve potom anatomické nebo technické náčrty, přestože jich je mnohem víc. Byl samouk, přitom však nejuniverzálnější z lidí v době, kdy všestrannost ještě nepatřila k nesplnitelným snům. Svými poznatky obohatil téměř všechny vědní oblasti doby, v níž žil - anatomii, fyziologii, botaniku, paleontologii, kartografii, geologii, matematiku, chemii, aerodynamiku, astronomii, optiku, mechaniku, hydrauliku i akustiku. Měl dobré důvody cítit se geniálním umělcem i učencem., Ivo Kraus., and Obsahuje bibliografii
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the death of an important patron and supporter of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts - Leopold Katz (1854-1927) the Institute of Contemporary History arranged an excursion to the family vault at Olšany Cemetery. The text introduces some new details about the Jewish attorney who finnancially supported two generations of Czech painters and sculptors (for example, V. Hynais, M. Aleš, J. V. Myslbek, M. Švabinský and others) and was the most important personage of the Czech-Jewish assimilation movement in the second half of the 19th century. and Sylva Daníčková.
The Institute of Nanobiology and Structural Biology of the Global Change Research Centre of the AS CR organizes two scientific and research summer schools for selected Czech and foreign students at the Academic and University Center Nové Hrady. The mission of Undergraduate Summer Research in Molecular Biophysics was to enable students of the physical and mathematical sciences from colleges with limited research to address important problems in biology. The program offered cross-disciplinary research experience in leading laboratories. Summer School in Molecular Biophysics and Systems Biology supported by the International Visegrad Fund, gave students the opportunity to work with specialists-tutors, take part in outstanding lectures and get a new view of methodology and research in the field of systems biology. and Tomáš Rolínek.
The Laboratory of Cell Regeneration and Plasticity and the PIGMOD Centre of the Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics of the CAS in Liběchov have been using their unique biomedical models - miniature pigs - to study fundamental causes of serious diseases, identify new biomarkers and search for new therapeutic methods /including those based on cell therapy and genetic therapy) to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic spinal cord injury and human melanoma. Special transgenic minipigs carrying human mutated huntingtin allow researchers to investigate in detail the fatal neurodegenerative disorder called Huntington's disease. and Jana Olivová.
