“Omics” refers to the collective study of large sets of biological molecules to understand the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs and even entire organisms. Analysis of large “omics” datasets often involves system-level analyses that group similar biomolecules into common signaling pathways. "Omics” approaches can be used to study biological processes ranging from development to disease mechanisms to drug responses.
This session will focus on studies in the veterinary literature that have used “omics” approaches to study joint disease, with a primary focus on post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). In addition, studies using “omics” technologies to investigate various therapeutics and regenerative medicine approaches to treating joint disease in veterinary medicine will be discussed. Studies that evaluate multiple -omics technologies or “omics” approaches across multiple species will be discussed, highlighting opportunities for future investigation and potential translation to clinical practice.
