Postmortem chondrocyte viability in porcine articular cartilage: Influence of time,...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of time, temperature, and burial in a natural environment on the viability of chondrocytes in porcine femoral condyles using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Hind trotters from 10 pigs were buried or left unburied. Sa...
Development research of latent fingermarks based on aggregation‐induced emission technique
Fingerprints hold evidential value for individual identification; a sensitive, efficient, and convenient method for visualizing latent fingermarks (LFMs) is of great importance in the field of crime scene investigation. In this study, we proposed an aggregation‐induced emission a...
The influence of altitude on the abundance and occurrence of species of the family...
A carcass is defined as a temporary resource that can support high levels of diversity compared to other resources. The level of diversity often depends on the environmental conditions in which the corpse is found. Calliphoridae (Diptera) are the most important necrophagous insec...
An evaluation of the cannabinoid content of the liquid and thermal degradation analysis of...
Cannabidiol (CBD) vape pen usage has been on the rise given the changing political and scientific climate as well as the promotion of these delivery systems as a more accessible and lower‐risk option for consumers. Despite being marketed as a safer way to use cannabis, CBD vape l...

Targeted enrichment of whole‐genome SNPs from highly burned skeletal remains
Genetic assessment of highly incinerated and/or degraded human skeletal material is a persistent challenge in forensic DNA analysis, including identifying victims of mass disasters. Few studies have investigated the impact of thermal degradation on whole‐genome single‐nucleotide ...
The effect of the anti‐coagulant EDTA on the deposition and adhesion of whole blood...
An investigation into whether the addition of a commonly used anti‐coagulant agent like ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) has an impact on the adhesion potential of blood to non‐porous substrates was conducted. Two non‐porous substrates (aluminum and polypropylene) exhibitin...
