Biomaterials in the form of three-dimensional scaffolds (3D) intended for regenerative medicine of soft and hard tissues. They are prepared from biodegradable organic polymers using different techniques. Their composition is variable in order to obtain optimal mechanical properties for stem cell culture followed by tissue formation. Biomaterials are also a source of active substances incorporated and released in a controlled manner. Before the scaffolds are used for tissue regeneration, they undergo biological verification in terms of their toxicity, both adhesion and migration properties for stem cells, and finally promoting or inhibiting their differentiation into the target tissue.

For years, some countries have been struggling with the problem of mass fish kills (MFK) in inland saltwater and brackish waters. MFK is associated with the presence of the so-called golden alga, Prymnesium parvum. P. parvum is alien to inland waters, however, due to the constant discharge of salty mine waters into freshwaters, the golden alga thrives in water bodies, lakes, canals, etc. We are trying to understand the biological causes of increased mortality of organisms caused by the P. parvum bloom in order to control the course of this phenomenon. Thus, it might limit the environmental and economic effects of huge losses in the population of fish and other gill breathing organisms.

Denticles are called pulp stones, calcified forms of dental pulp. When formed in the tooth chamber, they cause pressure on the nerve and blood vessels. In the case of large denticles, they are origin of toothache. The ground of their formation has not been fully determined but it is believed that they are the effect of long-term inflammatory processes or mechanical injuries. Denticles are also found in historical teeth, derived from people living many years ago. X-ray microanalysis is the analytical method that helps to determine the elemental composition of properly developed enamel, dentine and compare it to the elemental composition of denticles. This can provide an answer to the question of the degree of mineralization of denticles formed in the teeth of contemporary and historical people. The presence of trace elements, on the other hand, may refer to the diet of ancient human populations.
