A study in humans identified hsa-miR-744-5p as a differentially expressed microRNA upregulated in sepsis compared to septic shock patients [Li et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-025-89946-6]. In a separate investigation in humans, plasma hsa-miR-744-5p was identified as downregulated in young patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared to healthy controls via small RNA sequencing [Tong et al. DOI:10.3390/ijms19051467]. A study in humans demonstrated that the miR-744-5p was significantly up-regulated in the serum of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) compared to healthy controls and was part of a four-miRNA diagnostic panel achieving an AUC of 0.955 [Mo et al. DOI:10.2147/NSS.S382765].
