A study in mice demonstrated that the mir-615 inhibits apoptosis in Leydig cells by targeting SOX5 [Doghish et al. DOI:10.1007/s00210-024-03594-7]. A study in rhesus macaques demonstrated that the mir-615 was used as a feature in a predictive model for pleural effusion by gender at Day 21 following whole thorax irradiation [May et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-022-16316-x].
