Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the miR-642a-3p is upregulated 3.60-fold in postischemic left ventricular myocardium following acute ischemia during cardiac surgery [Saddic et al. DOI:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00049.2015]. A study in humans demonstrated that the miR-642a-3p was a common differentially expressed microRNA upregulated in the serum of patients at all three studied stages of atrial fibrillation [Wang et al. DOI:10.1016/j.hrtlng.2020.03.021].
