Simple Summary The estimation of the time of death, or post-mortem interval, is a crucial
aspect of forensic death-related investigations. However, accurate estimation can be …

We provide here an overview of the state of applied techniques in the estimation of the early
period of the postmortem interval (PMI). The biological methods included consist of body …

Context.—The National Institutes of Health Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project was

In postmortem examinations, the drug analysis of hair is effective for revealing drug-use
history. Additionally, a method to estimate the day of death using hair was previously …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved small non-coding RNAs, that modulate gene
expression by targeting messenger RNA of many processes. Thus, miRNAs are key …

The postmortem interval (PMI) is the time elapsing since the death of an individual until the
body is examined. Different molecules have been analyzed to better estimate the PMI with …

In forensic examination accurate estimation of post-mortem interval (PMI) is a challenging
task, particularly in the advanced stages of decomposition. The existing methods (algor …

The possibility of using epigenetics in forensic investigation has gradually risen over the last
few years. Epigenetic changes with their dynamic nature can either be inherited or …

Background: When a body is discovered at a crime or murder scene, it is crucial to examine
the body and estimate its postmortem interval (PMI). Accurate estimation of PMI is vital for …

Background The assessment of the postmortem interval (PMI) represents one of the major
challenges in forensic pathology. Because of their stability, microRNAs, or miRNAs, are …
