Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-24 exhibits significantly higher expression in bloodstains from young individuals compared to old individuals, enabling age range prediction for donors using a hairpin probe-triggered isothermal amplification (HPIA) method [Hu et al. DOI:10.1016/j.microc.2025.114682]. This method achieved a detection sensitivity of 1 fg and successfully predicted age groups from bloodstains stored for over six years with statistically significant results. A study in rats demonstrated that the mir-24 was downregulated with a 1.71-fold change at 24 hours post-mortem [Martínez-Rivera et al. DOI:10.7717/peerj.11102].
