A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-1296 was significantly decreased in plasma-derived exosomes from acute myocardial infarction subjects compared to controls, identifying it as a potential biomarker for postmortem diagnosis [Kim et al. DOI:10.3390/ijms25179619]. In rhesus macaques, the mir-1296 was used as a feature in a four-group survival prediction model at Day 6 and in a pleural effusion prediction model by gender at Day 6 following whole thorax irradiation [May et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-022-16316-x].
