MALDI-TOF MS as a Novel Tool for the Estimation of Postmortem Interval in Liver Tissue Samples

Abstract Estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) is a complicated task in forensic medicine, especially during homicide and unwitnessed death investigations. Many biological, chemical, and physical indicators can be used to determine the postmortem interval, but most are not accurate. Here, we p...
