More Details: Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA), a ubiquitous degenerative joint disorder, is marked by pain and disability, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. As the population ages, the global prevalence of OA is escalating. Omics technologies have become instrumental in investigating complex diseases like OA, offering comprehensive insights into its pathogenesis and progression by uncovering disease-specific alterations across genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics levels. In this review, we systematically analyzed and summarized the application and recent achievements of omics technologies in OA research by scouring relevant literature in databases such as PubMed. These studies have shed light on new potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers, charting fresh avenues for OA diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, in our discussion, we highlighted the immense potential of spatial omics technologies in unraveling the molecular mechanisms of OA and in the development of novel therapeutic strategies, proposing future research directions and challenges. Collectively, this study encapsulates the pivotal advances in current OA research and prospects for future investigation, providing invaluable references for a deeper understanding and treatment of OA. This review aims to synthesize the recent progress of omics technologies in the realm of OA, aspiring to furnish theoretical foundations and research orientations for more profound studies of OA in the future.
