Bedřich Smetana's illness associated with complete hearing loss has been linked to various diseases in a long-running discussion. Senile dementia, atherosclerosis, progressive paralysis in lues are mentioned, while the ototoxicity of mercury is neglected. Its high concentration in the composer's skeletal remains was demonstrated by the authors of this article immunohistochemically and especially by the neutron activation analysis (NAA) method 23 years ago.

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are pioneers in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, such as cancer, asthma, poisoning, viral infections, etc. As the market value of mAbs increases in the biopharma industry, the demand for high quantities is met by upscaled production using bioreactor systems. Thus, disposable, porous matrices called cryogels have gained the primary focus for adherent support in the proliferation of hybridoma cells.
