Functional genomic and proteomic approaches have begun to revolutionize cancer research. The advent of powerful technologies, such as DNA microarrays, serial analysis of gene expression, RNA interference and proteomics, has accelerated investigations of gene identification and function at a scale never before accomplished. Approaches integrating these technologies with high-throughput forward and reverse genetic screens, are already providing insights into the mechanistic understanding of angiogenesis, leading to the identification of proteins that can be used for selective targeting of tumor vessels.

Angina pectoris (AP), a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal chest pain, is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and sudden temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Long-term AP typically induces other cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, posing a serious threat to patient safety. However, AP's complex pathological mechanisms and developmental processes introduce significant challenges in the rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment of its different subtypes, including stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and variant angina pectoris (VAP).

Background: The Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Alzheimer's Disease (AMP-AD) is a public-private partnership linking NIH, the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and nonprofit organizations in an interactive, collaborative program utilizing transcriptomics, genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to provide data for computational analysis, that, in turn, enables promising targets to be ranked by a combination of omic scores and druggability. This ranking informs the selection of targets for validation.
Method: Human postmortem samples were obtained from Mount Sinai, ROSMAP (Religious Orders Study and Rush Memory and Aging Project), Mayo Clinic (Florida), and Columbia University.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that inflicts the elderly worldwide. Recent studies revealed the association of abnormal methylomic alterations in AD. However, a systematic and comprehensive study is needed to investigate the effects of methylomic changes on the molecular networks underpinning AD, in particular, in brain regions most vulnerable to AD neuropathology.

Background: While compelling evidence highlights the importance of myeloid cells in the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the relevance of immunometabolism still requires further exploration. Our analysis integrating AD genetics and myeloid cell genomics shows that lower levels of LACTB expression in myeloid cells is protective against AD, a finding supported by proteomics studies. As a mitochondrial active-site serine protein, LACTB has implications for mitochondrial morphology and bioenergetics.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory response arising from lung and systemic injury with diverse causes and associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. To date, no fully effective pharmacological therapies have been established and the relevant underlying mechanisms warrant elucidation, which may be facilitated by multi‑omics technology. The present review summarizes the application of multi‑omics technology in identifying novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic strategies of ALI/ARDS as well as its pathogenesis.
