Abstract
This article investigates the innovative fusion of cellular physiology and forensic anthropometry, revealing a promising synergy for increasing investigative capacities, particularly in resource-constrained environments. To gain essential information about identifying people, morphological analysis has traditionally been utilized in forensic anthropometry, a well-established field that measures human skeletal remains. To better understand post-mortem cellular alterations, new forensic investigational paths have been made possible by recent developments in cellular physiology. This interdisciplinary approach has great promise in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where forensic resources are frequently scarce. Investigators can gather crucial information about the post-mortem period, the cause of death, and probable signs of trauma or pathology thanks to the integration of cellular physiology with forensic anthropometry. This strategy utilises methods like immunohistochemistry, gene expression analysis, and cellular bioinformatics to enable a more nuanced and precise reconstruction of events leading up to death. The actual use of this interdisciplinary paradigm in LMIC environments is elucidated in this paper. It tackles issues with accessibility to technology, training, and infrastructure while suggesting flexible ways to close existing gaps. This strategy is positioned to strengthen investigative capacities in areas where they are most urgently required by stressing cost-effective methodologies and the use of open-source resources.We show the concrete effect of this integration on actual investigations through a number of case studies and comparative analyses. When compared to using only standard anthropometric methods, the results reveal a significant improvement in accuracy, precision, and efficiency. Additionally, this interdisciplinary strategy may make it easier to create extensive forensic databases, enabling more effective identification attempts and aiding in the solving of unsolved cold cases.
