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-burn and in hypertrophic scar tissue [Siu et al. DOI:10.1111/wrr.13100]. A study in mice demonstrated that the mir-3619 suppresses the expression of KCNH2 mRNA and protein, which is associated with long QT syndrome and sudden unexplained cardiac death [Lou et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jflm.2022.102332].
