🇬🇧📢We're happy to have contributed—at least in a small way—to a new study just published in FEBS Open Bio!
👉Titled “ Iron-dependent lysosomal LDL oxidation induces the expression of scavenger receptor A in human THP-1
monocytes "

🇨🇿 Dva členové naší laboratoře ✈️ vyrazili do Dubaje, aby dohlédli na přijímačky anglické paralelky @1.lf.unikarlova.cuni.cz !
🎓 Zajistili fair play, dovezli testy až na místo a výsledky pak poslali zpátky do Prahy.
Mission accomplished! ✅🌍
