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 study in humans identified the mir-645 as a biomarker of longitudinal phenotypic decline, where its higher baseline expression was associated with decreased physical functionality over time in older monozygotic twins [La Grotta et al. DOI:10.1016/j.mad.2025.112099].
