Through the developments of Omics technologies and dissemination of large-scale datasets, such as those from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, and Genotype-Tissue Expression, it is becoming increasingly possible to study complex biological processes and disease mechanisms more holistically. However, to obtain a comprehensive view of these complex systems, it is crucial to integrate data across various Omics modalities, and also leverage external knowledge available in biological databases. This review aims to provide an overview of multi-Omics data integration methods with different statistical approaches, focusing on tasks, including disease onset prediction, biomarker discovery, disease subtyping, module discovery, and network/pathway analysis. We also briefly review feature selection methods, multi-Omics data sets, and resources/tools that constitute critical components for carrying out the integration.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PAC) has a complex tumor immune microenvironment, and currently, there is a lack of accurate personalized treatment. Establishing a novel consensus machine learning driven signature (CMLS) that offers a unique predictive model and possible treatment targets for this condition was the goal of this study.
Methods: This study integrated multiple omics data of PAC patients, applied ten clustering techniques and ten machine learning approaches to construct molecular subtypes for PAC, and created a new CMLS.

Unlabelled: Although metagenomic investigations into microbial fiber-degrading capabilities are currently prevalent, there is a notable gap in research concerning the regulatory mechanisms underpinning host-microbiota interactions that confer tolerance to high-fiber diets in pigs. In this study, 28 Meishan (MS) and 28 Large White (LW) pigs were subjected to feeding experiments involving various fiber levels. Subsequently, multi-omics was employed to investigate the influence of host-microbiota interactions on the fiber degradation of pigs.

Diabetes increases the risk of dementia, and insulin resistance (IR) has emerged as a potential unifying feature. Here, we review published findings over the past 2 decades on the relation of diabetes and IR to brain health, including those related to cognition and neuropathology, in the Religious Orders Study, the Rush Memory and Aging Project, and the Minority Aging Research Study (ROS/MAP/MARS), three harmonised cohort studies of ageing and dementia at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center (RADC). A wide range of participant data, including information on medical conditions such as diabetes and neuropsychological tests, as well as other clinical and laboratory-based data collected annually.

The advent of single-cell sequencing techniques has not only revolutionized the investigation of biological processes but also significantly contributed to unraveling cellular heterogeneity at unprecedented levels. Among the various methods, single-cell transcriptome sequencing stands out as the best established, and has been employed in exploring many physiological and pathological activities. The recently developed single-cell epigenetic sequencing techniques, especially chromatin accessibility sequencing, have further deepened our understanding of gene regulatory networks.

Introduction: Recent epidemiological data suggests a rising incidence of breast angiosarcoma (AS-B) in the Western population, with over two-thirds related to irradiation or chronic lymphedema. However, unlike head and neck angiosarcoma (AS-HN), AS-B disease characteristics in Asia remain unclear.
Methods: We examined clinical patterns of angiosarcoma patients (n = 176) seen in an Asiantertiary cancer center from 1999 to 2021, and specifically investigated the molecular and immune features of AS-B in comparison to AS-HN.
