Forensic Context

A study in humans identified the miR-373-3p as a differentially expressed microRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from coronary artery disease patients, where it was upregulated and validated as a component of a ceRNA network [He et al. DOI:10.1155/2021/6658115]. In forensic science, the miR-373-3p has been characterized as a menstrual blood-specific miRNA, useful for distinguishing this body fluid from others such as venous blood and vaginal secretions [Li et al. DOI:10.1093/fsr/owad003].
