A new study from the University of Trieste explores the potential of microRNA (miRNA) profiles in neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) as predictive biomarkers for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in children receiving ketamine.
This research, leveraging TAmiRNA’s Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based miND® pipeline, identified specific miRNAs (miR-18a-3p, miR-484, and miR-548az-5p) as potential tools to predict ketamine-induced ADRs.
This breakthrough not only advances our understanding of ketamine’s side effects in children but also demonstrates the biomarker potential of organ-specific EVs and their miRNA cargo.
