In the first minutes or hours, standard histological examination may not determine whether the wound was inflicted in the pre- or post-mortem period. This commentary is focused on the recent proposal to use mast cells and dendritic cells as cellular tools for the discrimination of vital and post mortem wounds.}, issn = {2375-1924}, url = {https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/859} }
