Besides being a powerful model to study the mechanisms of corneal wound healing, tissue-engineered human corneas (hTECs) are sparking interest as suitable substitutes for grafting purposes. To ensure the histological and physiological integrity of hT...
This study investigated the effect of animal age, calcium chloride marination, and storage time on meat quality characteristics of buffalo bulls to suggest a cost-effective method of improving buffalo meat quality. The current study was designed cons...
Fish industry operators have to process fish that arrive at various postmortem times. Postmortem time constrains processing and impacts product quality, safety, and economic value. The objective identification of biomarkers is desirable to predict th...
The process of meat postmortem aging is a complex one, in which improved tenderness and aroma coincide with negative effects such as water loss and microbial growth. Determining the optimal postmortem storage time for meat is crucial but also challen...
In this time series study, the temporal sequences of postmortem changes in brains kept at different temperatures were investigated in different areas of mouse brains. Fixation of tissues kept at different storage temperatures (4 °C, 22 °C, 37 °C) was...
The cryopreservation and transplantation of germline stem cells (GSCs) have become the key to conserving fish genetic resources and safeguarding species diversity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of post-mortem temperature and time on the...
The time interval between the collection of biological material and the performance of toxicological analyses is particularly important when the appropriate storage temperature cannot be maintained. This issue is especially relevant in the determinat...
Postmortem molecular changes are more complex than a passive, uniform cessation of all cellular activity. Human and animal studies have demonstrated that certain RNA transcripts remain detectable for defined periods after death and that transcript le...
Shrimp is a popular seafood throughout the world. However, shrimp is highly perishable due to biochemical, microbiological, or physical changes during postmortem storage. In this study, the effect of a surimi-based coating with and without montmorill...
The lion’s paw scallop (Nodipecten subnodosus) is a commercially valuable pectinid whose postharvest quality strongly depends on storage and handling conditions. This study investigated the combined effects of seasonality, postmortem time, and...

Introduction: The human post-mortem microbiome (HPM) plays a major role in the decomposition process. Successional changes in post-mortem bacterial communities have been recently demonstrated using high throughput metagenomic sequencing techniques, s...
Mushroom-related intoxications pose a distinctive challenge for forensic medicine because early manifestations are non-specific, latency may be prolonged, and co-exposures can obscure the mechanism of death. This narrative review summarizes key toxic...
Necrobia ruficollis (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) is an important cosmopolitan storage pest, and also frequently appears on highly decomposed and skeletonized corpses. It is a forensically important species expected to indicate a longer po...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the motility, morphology, and antioxidant status of European red deer sperm stored in a liquid state (variant I) and in the epididymides (variant II). Spermatozoa were harvested post-mortem from the cauda epididy...
A major limiting factor for the development of in vitro embryo production (IVP) in wild species, such as Iberian red deer, compared to livestock animals is the poor availability and limited access to biological material. Thus, the use of post-mortem...
The muscle hardness of fish is an important parameter associated with meat quality, and the post-mortem decrease in the pH of fish tissue pH affects its physical properties. We hypothesized that maintaining a high pH in fish tissue after death would...
Population-based sampling has improved pathogen monitoring in the US swine industry by increasing sensitivity while reducing costs. Postmortem tongue fluids (TF) have emerged as a practical option for monitoring porcine reproductive and respiratory s...
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) offer a sustainable and safe pathway to low-cost energy storage. Recent research shows that thermally-sintered porous Zn electrodes with a three-dimensional network structure can enhance the performance and lifetime of ZABs,...
cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity regulates protein phosphorylation, with Na+ playing a crucial role in PKA activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different Na+ concentrations on PKA activity and protein phosphor...
Insulin is the most effective glycemic-lowering drug, and for people suffering from type 1 diabetes it is a life-saving drug. Its self-dosing by patients may be associated with a higher risk of overdose, both accidental and deliberate. Insulin-induce...
Shrimp are among the most valuable seafood commodities worldwide, but are also highly perishable, making their quality preservation a critical issue for both food safety and supply chain sustainability. The rapid deterioration of fresh shrimp contrib...
(1) Background: The ex vivo porcine ear model is often used for the determination of the dermal penetration efficacy of chemical compounds. This study investigated the influence of the post-slaughter storage time of porcine ears on the dermal penetra...
Crossbred native chicken (Khao Dok Khae) holds commercial significance in Southern Thailand, yet empirical data on its post-harvest quality under extended frozen storage remain limited. This study evaluated the microbiological quality of Khao Dok Kha...
Considering the taxonomic uncertainties of Neotropical deer species, as well as the threat status of many of them, new studies and strategies for their maintenance are urgently needed. Obtaining live cells is of great importance for the conservation...
Marine species deteriorate rapidly post-mortem as a consequence of a variety of biochemical and microbial breakdown mechanisms. Due to the increasing demand for high-quality fresh seafood, different strategies are now available to retard spoilage for...
Cellulose ionogels have emerged as promising functional soft materials for flexible electronics, energy storage, and biosensing owing to their inherent biocompatibility and unique ionic conductivity. However, establishing precise structure–prop...
The semen of domestic mammals is conventionally collected with an artificial vagina (AV) for artificial insemination (AI) or for short- or long-term storage. However, the procedure has certain drawbacks: animal training is not feasible in extensive a...
Metal phosphorus trichalcogenide (MPX3) materials have aroused substantial curiosity in the evolution of electrochemical storage devices due to their environment-friendliness and advantageous X-P synergic effects. The interesting intercalation proper...
Advances in forensic biology have increased the options for the collection, sampling, preservation and processing of human remains for DNA-based identification. Combined with a plethora of commercial DNA testing kits that are far more forgiving of in...
Ethical slaughter practices for crustaceans remain poorly standardized, and their effects on product quality and consumer perception are insufficiently understood. This study evaluated four ice-slurry-based slaughter methods in Penaeus vannamei reare...
