Cartilage tissue performs many functions in the human body. The diseases and injuries
affecting it are prevalent due to its slow regeneration rate. However, cartilage tissue is …

Natural history collections are repositories of biodiversity and are potentially used by
molecular ecologists for comparative taxonomic, phylogenetic, biogeographic and forensic …

We analyzed the degradation level of DNA from buccal cells under humid conditions using
quantitative PCR analysis. Gauze samples with buccal cells were incubated for up to 12 …

Formalin-fixed tissues possess irreplaceable value as a source of DNA for identification,
especially when fresh samples are unavailable. Nonetheless, extracting and amplifying …

For identification of badly preserved cadavers, only a few tissues can be used as a source of
DNA, mostly bones and teeth, from which sampling and DNA extraction are difficult and time …

Objective The expansion of molecular techniques in medical diagnosis, forensics, and
education requires the development of improved techniques of DNA extraction from fixed …

Within anatomical willed body programs and skeletal collections, whole bodies and their
disassociated limbs and organs are identified and tracked. However, if these tracking …

Aim: This research sought to extract amplifiable DNA from thirteen brain, bone marrow and
cartilage samples from four formalin embalmed human cadavers. Materials and Methods …

We report on the use of a DNA staining dye to locate and record nucleated osteocytes and
other bone-related cells within sections of archived formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded …

Aggressive chemicals intended for cleaning pools or unclogging drains contain high
concentrations of dangerous compounds, leading to their nefarious use in dissolving human …
