Cardiac Function Remains Impaired Despite Reversible Cardiac Remodeling after Acute Experimental Viral Myocarditis

Background.Infection with Coxsackievirus B3 induces myocarditis.We aimed to compare the acute and chronic phases of viral myocarditis to identify the immediate effects of cardiac inflammation as well as the long-term effects after resolved inflammation on cardiac fibrosis and consequently on cardiac function.Material and Methods.We infected C57BL/6

In-gel fluorescence detection by DNA polymerase elongation

Fluorescence-based DNA readouts are increasingly important in biological research, owing to enhanced analytical Custom Tie sensitivity and multiplexing capability.In this study, we characterize an in-gel polymerase elongation process to understand the reaction kinetics and transport limitations, and we evaluate DNA sequence design to develop signal
