The use of OMICs (proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and lipidomics) and bioinformatics is vital to investigate molecules and molecular mechanisms in crosstalk between cell types/organs to better understand the context of lifestyle and age-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis.
