Fingermark recovery plays a crucial role in investigating corrosive substance attacks, which are becoming increasingly common. Building upon previous research, this study aimed to identify effective visualization processes for recovering fingermarks from diverse substrates exposed to wide range of commercially available corrosive materials. The study investigated glass, PVC and HDPE substrates with fingermarks deposited 1 day and 2 weeks before exposure to the corrosive substance, and used commercially available substances at concentrations higher than any previous study.

- Survival rates for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are low due to late diagnosis, prompting research into early molecular changes that could aid in earlier detection.
- The study examined esophageal biopsies from individuals with Tylosis with esophageal cancer (TOC), a syndrome linked to higher ESCC risk, identifying significant transcriptional changes that were also seen in ESCC.
- Results indicated that these early changes may be crucial in understanding how sporadic ESCC develops and highlighted specific upregulated genes like Keratin 17 that could serve as potential biomarkers.
