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-thermal injury [Siu et al. DOI:10.1111/wrr.13100]. A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-380 is among miRNAs uniquely detected in semen fluids [Alsaeed et al. DOI:10.1007/s12024-024-00831-6]. A separate comprehensive characterization of small RNA profiles in forensic stains confirmed the mir-380 is reported in published data as a potential marker for semen [Liu et al. DOI:10.3390/genes13091530].
