On the project

Navrhneme, vyrobíme a ověříme mikrofluidický systém pro mapování vnitřní teploty a monitorování tepelné balance živých buněk. Tento systém bude ve formě mikrokalorimetru s minimálním vnitřním objemem obklopeným vakuem. Vlastní buňky budou v běžném kultivačním médiu při normálním tlaku. Objem mikrokalorimetru řádově ve stovkách femtolitrů v kombinaci s teplotní izolací systému zvýší teplotní změny v buňkách o několik řádů. Pro měření teploty vyvineme různé metody, jako je fluorescence neovlivněná poklesem jasu, teplotně citlivé fluorescenční barvivo a plazmonické teplotně citlivé struktury. Díky speciálnímu pěstování buněk v unikátním mikrokalorimetru budeme schopni reálně rozlišit změny teploty pod 0,1 °C, což je o řád lepší než uvádí dosud publikované práce. Umožní nám to sledovat buněčné reakce v reálném čase, jako je termogeneze v buňkách, mitóza, chemoterapeutikem vyvolaná apoptóza, diferenciace kmenových buněk a energetickou balanci buněk.

Description in English
We will design, fabricate and verify a microfluidic system to map internal temperature and monitor energy balance in living cells. This microcalorimetric (C) system will have minimal volume surrounded with vacuum. Living cells will be inside the C in conventional cell culturing media at normal pressure. The C volume of hundreds of fL in combination with thermal isolation increase the temperature change in cells by several orders of magnitude. We will develop several techniques to measure temperature such as temperature sensitive fluorescent dye independent of a photobleaching effect and temperature sensitive plasmonic structures. Cell culturing in this unique C we will be able to determine temperature with precision better than 0.1 °C, which is one order more sensitive than published works. This sensitivity allows us to monitor internal cell reactions in real time, such as thermogenesis, mitoses, drug induces apoptosis, stem cell differentiation and cell energy balance.
