The history of forensic chemical analysis shows a development from the mere quotation of a concentration value to an expert opinion which helps to explain manifold circumstances of the case under consideration. The development of forensic expertises on chemical problems connected to forensic medicine reveals two essential stages: 1. A period, when sensual perceptions were the only means of investigation and 2. a period, when developments in chromatographic separation and spectrometric identification have permitted objectified results.

Isothermal amplification-based nucleic acid detection technologies have become rapid and efficient tools for molecular diagnostics. Sequence-specific monitoring methods are crucial for isothermal amplification, as they help identify the occurrence of extended primer dimers, which can lead to false positive results. Fluorescent aptamers are promising tools for real-time monitoring of isothermal amplification but are inherently limited by thermostability.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely used in orthopedic and dental implants due to its excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. However, its inherently bioinert nature makes it present weak osteogenic activity, which greatly restricts its clinical adoption. Herein, strontium (Sr) is incorporated onto the surface of PEEK using mussel-inspired polydopamine coating to improve its osteogenic activity.

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a widely recognized entactogen frequently used recreationally. It is known for its interaction with the serotonin and oxytocin systems, which underlie its entactogenic effects in humans. Recently, we demonstrated that the gut-brain axis, mediated by the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve, contributes to MDMA-induced resilience enhancement in rodents.
