Forensic Context

A review of human studies identified 197 miRNAs associated with wound healing, burn wound healing, and scarring, with specific dysregulation patterns observed in human skin tissue and cell lines post-thermal injury [Siu et al. DOI:10.1111/wrr.13100]. A study in humans demonstrated that the miR-139-3p is an absolute specific marker for venous blood, identified through massively parallel sequencing of small RNA profiles from six forensic body fluids/tissues [Liu et al. DOI:10.3390/genes13091530].
