Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-598 was significantly decreased in the plasma of male acute myocardial infarction patients compared to healthy controls, as identified by next-generation sequencing [Baulina et al. DOI:10.1016/j.yjmcc.2018.07.129]. In the context of ionizing radiation injury, research in mice showed that the mir-598 was differentially expressed in blood 6 hours after γ-irradiation and was also significantly down-regulated in human peripheral blood lymphocytes 24 hours post-irradiation under microgravity conditions [Jia et al. DOI:10.3389/fcell.2022.861451].
