With the ever-growing popularity of quantitative PCR (QPCR) as a sensitive technique for quantifying DNA and RNA, there is increasing demand for higher throughput of reactions and faster protocol ...

Our hypothesis was that patellar tendons from 3-year-old rabbits would have increased MMP expression and decreased TIMP expression compared to patellar tendons from 1-year-old rabbits. Methods ...

RNA samples were isolated at different time points and gene expression was evaluated by qPCR and qPCR array. Zymography assay was also conducted in order to measure the activity of MMP-2 in the ...
