Forensic Context

A study in humans identified hsa-miR-152 as downregulated 24 hours post-injury in skin wounds compared to unwounded skin [Siu et al. DOI:10.1111/wrr.13100]. In a separate human study of older monozygotic twins, higher baseline plasma levels of miR-152 were associated with increased functionality over time in longitudinal analyses of physical decline [La Grotta et al. DOI:10.1016/j.mad.2025.112099].
