The precise estimation of PMI is a problem of central importance in forensic pathology. Traditional methods for this task rely on physical modifications observed on the body, including algor, livor, and rigor mortis36. However, these approaches may be unreliable or inaccurate18. The use of RNA a...
Development of new drugs is of high interest for the field of cardiac and cardiovascular diseases, which are a dominant cause of death worldwide. Before being allowed to be used and distributed, every new potentially therapeutic compound must be strictly validated during preclinical and clinical tria...
While we suspected that MNPs might accumulate in the body over a lifespan, the lack of correlation between total plastics and decedent age (P = 0.87 for brain data) does not support this (Supplementary Fig.1). However, total mass concentration of plastics in the brains analyzed in this...
A large body of evidence supports a specific metabolic function of proteolipid complexes containing MtCK and ANT [18], [21], [25], [88]. In peripheral contact sites, co-localization of MtCK with ANT, direct interaction of MtCK with VDAC, and possibly also the diffusion limitations at the ...

“Bread fed the body, roses fed something subtler: not just hearts, but imaginations, psyches, senses, identities. It was a pretty slogan but a fierce argument that more than survival and bodily well-being were needed and were being demanded as a right. It was equally an argument against...
1.1. Coronaviruses That Infect the Human Body Respiratory System Coronaviruses were mostly known to infect animals of mammal species and birds; it is only recently that they have infected humans. The latest research reported seven types of the Coronavirus that can infect humans, four of which are...
host anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosadefense [4]. Likewise, endogenous elastase at the site of infection/inflammation can process inactive proforms of mammal cathelicidins into active antibacterial peptides [5] as well as synthetic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) into pharmacologically active peptide D-BMAP18 ...
After R&R it was time to open "The Bag" and do the laundry. The smell cannot be described it has to be experienced. A mixture of JP5 jet fuel, synthetic lube oil, dead marine life, body odor, foot odor, body waste odor, and ammonia. These are just the major contributors. When ...
evolutions of Nature―a purpose and a plan, however, that is realized only within the limits of natural laws, and which does not tend to the production of some Utopia, where life faces no death, and growth no decay, with all the more or less unpleasant but unavoidable stages in between....
