We invite you to a mini-symposium focusing on the use of the electrophysiological method known as the “multielectrode array system” (MEA). Multi-electrode array (MEA) technology uses a grid of closely spaced microscopic electrodes that can detect the collective electrical signals of cells in their immediate vicinity (“field potential”) for passive, non-invasive monitoring of electrical activity….
The Centre of Biosciences SAS took part once again in the European Researchers’ Night 2025. Our Bratislava institutes – the Institute of Molecular Physiology and Genetics and the Institute of Animal Biochemistry and Genetics – joined forces at the Old Market Hall with the theme:“The Cell: Chaos That Makes Sense.” Visitors explored how cells generate…
Monosodium glutamate (MSG, E 621) is widely used in the food industry as a flavor and aroma enhancer. Results of experiments conducted at the Institute of Animal Physiology, Centre of Biosciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS), show that MSG consumption may pose a risk to successful conception and impair early embryonic development and…
Last weekend, September 05–07, 2025, Stará Lesná hosted the Visegrad Group Society for Developmental Biology Meeting 2025 (V4SDB), co-organized by the Institute of Animal Physiology of the Centre of Biosciences SAS. The unique setting, combined with keynote lectures from seven world-leading experts in embryology, developmental, and evolutionary biology, attracted an impressive 180 participants. The Academia…
