•  Recent advances in omics data resources, combined with innovative computational tools, are offering deeper insight into the molecular complexities of ovarian aging, paving the way for new opportunities in drug discovery and development.
  • expanding multi-omics data, spanning genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome, related to ovarian aging, from both tissue-level and single-cell perspectives. We will specially explore how the analysis of these emerging omics datasets can be leveraged to identify novel drug targets and guide therapeutic strategies for slowing and reversing ovarian aging.
SEARCH METHODS

  • genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, DNA methylation, RNA modification, histone modification, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, microbiome, single-cell, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), whole-exome sequencing, phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS), Mendelian randomization (MR), epigenetic target, drug target, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and multi-omics. 

OUTCOMES

  • Multi-omics studies have uncovered key mechanisms driving ovarian aging, including DNA damage and repair deficiencies, inflammatory and immune responses, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death. 
  • By integrating multi-omics data, researchers can identify critical regulatory factors and mechanisms across various biological levels, leading to the discovery of potential drug targets. 
  • Notable examples include genetic targets such as BRCA2 and TERT, epigenetic targets like Tet and FTO, metabolic targets such as sirtuins and CD38+, protein targets like BIN2 and PDGF-BB, and transcription factors such as FOXP1.

  • The advent of cutting-edge omics technologies, especially single-cell technologies and spatial transcriptomics, has provided valuable insights for guiding treatment decisions and has become a powerful tool in drug discovery aimed at mitigating or reversing ovarian aging. 
  • As technology advances, the integration of single-cell multi-omics data with AI models holds the potential to more accurately predict candidate drug targets. 
  • This convergence offers promising new avenues for personalized medicine and precision therapies, paving the way for tailored interventions in ovarian aging.
