Forensic Context

In human studies, the mir-3173-5p is identified as a specific marker for venous blood in forensic body fluid identification [Liu et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-025-03656-2]. A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-3173-5p is a potential diagnostic biomarker for sepsis, with its expression decreased in septic patients compared to those with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and healthy subjects [Ma et al. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0075918].
