Integrating multi-omics approaches in deciphering atopic dermatitis pathogenesis and future therapeutic directions.

Atopic dermatitis (AD), a complex and heterogeneous chronic inflammatory skin disorder, manifests in a spectrum of clinical subtypes. The application of genomics has elucidated the role of genetic variations in predisposing individuals to AD. Transcriptomics, analyzing gene expression alterations, sheds light on the molecular underpinnings of AD. Proteomics explores the involvement of proteins in AD pathophysiology, while epigenomics examines the impact of environmental factors on gene expression. Lipidomics, which investigates lipid profiles, enhances our understanding of skin barrier functionalities and their perturbations in AD. This review synthesizes insights from these omics approaches, highlighting their collective importance in unraveling the intricate pathogenesis of AD. The review culminates by projecting future trajectories in AD research, particularly the promise of multi-omics in forging personalized medicine and novel therapeutic interventions. Such an integrated multi-omics strategy is poised to transform AD comprehension and management, steering towards more precise and efficacious treatment modalities.
