New frontiers in thermal analysis: A TG/Chemometrics approach for postmortem interval estimation in vitreous humor [PDF]
, 2017 The coupling of thermogravimetric analysis (TG) associated with chemometrics is proposed as an innovative approach in thanatochemistry in order to develop a new analytical tool using thermal analysis for the characterization of vitreous humor.

Updates In Estimating Postmortem Interval [PDF]
Sohag Medical Journal, 2017 Background: Estimation of postmortem interval is considered one of the most important issues in forensic medicine. It aids the police investigation and help to know the time of the crime and its relation to the assailant. It also important in some civil problems as inheritance.

Postmortem interval assessment by MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry analysis in murine cadavers
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2021 This study assessed the use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI‐TOF) mass spectrometry as an alternative method to identify species associated with the thanatomicrobiota and epinecrotic communities.

The effects of death and post-mortem cold ischemia on human tissue transcriptomes [PDF]
, 2018 Post-mortem tissues samples are a key resource for investigating patterns of gene expression. However, the processes triggered by death and the post-mortem interval (PMI) can significantly alter physiologically normal RNA levels.

Biochemistry Changes That Occur after Death: Potential Markers for Determining Post-Mortem Interval [PDF]
, 2013 Death is likely to result in very extensive biochemical changes in all body tissues due to lack of circulating oxygen, altered enzymatic reactions, cellular degradation, and cessation of anabolic production of metabolites.
