Application of Micro-Computed Tomography for the Estimation of the Post-Mortem Interval of Human Skeletal Remains [PDF]
Biology, 2022 It is challenging to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI) of skeletal remains within a forensic context. As a result of their interactions with the environment, bones undergo several chemical and physical changes after death.

Post-Mortem Interval Estimation Based on Insect Evidence: Current Challenges [PDF]
Insects, 2021 During death investigations insects are used mostly to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI). These estimates are only as good as they are close to the true PMI.

Volabolomic Fingerprinting for Post-Mortem Interval Estimation: A Novel Physiological Approach [PDF]
BiomoleculesDeath is a multifaceted process wherein each individual cell and tissue has a metabolic homeostasis and a time of functional cessation defined by the dying process as well as by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Decomposition is physiologically associated

Profiling of RNA degradation for estimation of post mortem [corrected] interval. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 An estimation of the post mortem interval (PMI) is frequently touted as the Holy Grail of forensic pathology. During the first hours after death, PMI estimation is dependent on the rate of physical observable modifications including algor, rigor and ...

MicroRNAs as Useful Tools to Estimate Time Since Death. A Systematic Review of Current Literature
Diagnostics, 2021 Estimating the time of death remains the most challenging question in forensic medicine, because post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation can be a remarkably difficult goal to achieve. The aim of this review is to analyze the potential of microRNAs (miRNAs)
