A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-3607-5p was upregulated 6 hours post-burn in heat-shocked skin epidermal stem cells compared to controls [Siu et al. DOI:10.1111/wrr.13100]. A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-3607-5p was differentially expressed and shared across two pairs of monozygotic twins, as identified through miRNA microarray analysis of blood samples from Han Chinese twin pairs, suggesting its potential role as a biomarker for distinguishing genetically identical individuals [Xiao et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2019.05.003].
