Forensic Context

A review of human studies identified 197 miRNAs associated with wound healing, burn wound healing, and scarring, with specific expression patterns validated in human skin tissue and cell lines using qRT-PCR, microarrays, and next-generation sequencing [Siu et al. DOI:10.1111/wrr.13100]. A review of human miRNA profiling for forensic body fluid identification notes that mir-593 was found down-regulated in serum in lung cancer [Silva et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Fsigen.2014.09.002].
