Suicides disguised as homicides through weapon concealment: A two‐way copycat phenomenon between fiction and real world

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Suicides disguised as homicides present a persistent challenge in forensic case analysis, particularly when the weapon is deliberately removed after discharge. This study investigates the evolution of weapon concealment techniques—specifically the “load‐and‐rope” and “helium balloon‐tied gun” methods—across documented casework, forensic ...

Preparation artefacts mask the detectability of crosslinking‐induced structural changes in electron microscopy of collagen hydrogels

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Collagen hydrogels are widely used as biomimetic three‐dimensional matrices whose mechanical behaviour depends strongly on fibrillar micro‐ and nanoarchitecture and crosslinking state. Electron microscopy offers high spatial resolution for structural analysis, but sample preparation can substantially distort highly hydrated collagen networks ...
