Circulatory microrna in acute myocardial infarction: A candidate biomarker for forensic investigation

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs regulated a gene expression which associated to many diseases. As they contribute to diverse biological process and respond to various kinds of cellular stress, their utility as diagnostic biomarkers have recently been explored. miRNAs have been detected in various type of human tissues and were used as novel biomarkers in clinical investigation for example; ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and several forms of cancer cells. Recently, circulatory miRNA was proved that It could be a potential biomarker to determine a cause of death.
