An Alternative Method to Measure Glucose and Lactic Acid as Biomarkers of the Postmortem Interval (PMI) by Claudio Tersaruolo, Jesus Frias, Orla Howe

“…<b>Methods:</b> Considering the ethical implications and the availability of tissue samples for PMI experiments, we used human blood samples stored at three temperatures to mimic different environmental conditions, testing them over a period of 10 days post-sampling. These samples were biochemically tested for specific blood biomarkers, glucose (Glu) and lactic acid (Lac), to determine their potential as PMI biomarkers. …”

Multi-Metagenome Analysis Unravels Community Collapse After Sampling and Hints the Cultivation Strategy of CPR Bacteria in Groundwater by Kai Jiang, Lijia Ye, Chunling Cao, Gen Che, Yanxing Wang, Yu Hong

“…Through 36 metagenomes from a groundwater system containing at least 68 CPR phyla, we revealed the time-sensitive collapse of CPR communities: total abundance plummeted from 7.9% to 0.15% within 48 h post-sampling, driven by competition with rapidly dividing non-CPR bacteria, such as members of <i>Pseudomonadota</i>. …”

Tunable quantum light by modulated free electrons by Di Giulio Valerio, Haindl Rudolf, Ropers Claus

“…In this article, we present a theoretical framework capable of predicting the final optical density matrix emitted by a generic N-electron state that can also account for post-sample energy filtering. By using such a framework, we study the modulation-dependent fluctuations of the N-electron emission and identify regions of superradiant scaling characterized by Poissonian and super-Poissonian statistics. …”
