Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the fastest-growing non-communicable disease worldwide, accounting for around 90% of all diabetes cases and imposing a significant health burden globally. Due to its phenotypic heterogeneity and composite genetic underpinnings, T2D requires a precision medicine approach personalized to individual molecular profiles, thereby shifting away from the traditional “one-size-fits-all” medical methods. This review advocates for a thorough pharmacomultiomics approach to enhance precision medicine for T2D. It emphasizes personalized treatment strategies that enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing adverse effects by integrating data from genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, microbiomics, and epigenomics. We summarize key findings on candidate genes impacting diabetic medication responses and explore the potential of pharmacometabolomics in predicting drug efficacy. The role of pharmacoproteomics in prognosis and discovering new therapeutic targets is discussed, along with transcriptomics’ contribution to understanding T2D pathophysiology. Additionally, pharmacomicrobiomics is explored to understand gut microbiota interactions with antidiabetic drugs. Emerging evidence on utilizing epigenomic profiles in improving drug efficacy and personalized treatment is also reviewed, illustrating their implications in personalized medicine. In this paper, we discuss the integration of these layers of omics data, examining recently developed paradigms that leverage complex data to deepen our understanding of diabetes. Such integrative approaches advance precision medicine strategies to tackle the disease by better understanding its complex biology.

Background/Objective: Sepsis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, making early risk stratification and prognosis critical. Vascular endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of sepsis pathogenesis, with evidence suggesting that endothelial injury may occur early, preceding organ failure. Brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD), a validated noninvasive ultrasound technique measuring endothelium-dependent vasodilation, serves as a surrogate marker of endothelial function, where lower FMD values reflect impaired function. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the validity and quality of evidence on using FMD to measure vascular endothelial dysfunction in septic patients by comparing FMD (i) between septic patients and non-septic controls and (ii) between sepsis non-survivors and survivors. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched until November 2024 for clinical studies assessing FMD in septic patients. A random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis, and quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Results: Eight studies were included, and seven underwent quantitative synthesis (385 septic patients, 106 non-survivors and 217 survivors). Compared with non-septic controls, septic patients demonstrated significantly lower FMD (pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) = −2.1617; 95% CI −3.8349 to −0.4885; p = 0.0113; I2 = 98.2939%). Within the sepsis cohort, non-survivors showed significantly attenuated FMD compared to survivors (pooled SMD = −0.7003; 95% CI −1.1133 to −0.2873; p = 0.001; I2 = 60.5593%). Conclusions: FMD shows potential as a surrogate marker of endothelial dysfunction for sepsis risk assessment, as evident by lower FMD in septic patients, particularly non-survivors.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most clinically aggressive subtype of breast cancer, characterized by the absence of targetable hormone receptors and HER2 amplification, significantly constraining treatment choices. Estrogen Receptor Beta (ERβ) has emerged as a biologically relevant yet underutilized target in TNBC, with its re-expression linked to tumor suppression and improved prognosis, prompting the development of selective ERβ modulators as a precision therapeutic approach. We introduce ERβ-Score, an interpretable machine learning scoring system developed using a curated dataset of 1699 ERβ bioactive chemicals obtained from ChEMBL, characterized by 39 physicochemical and three-dimensional molecular descriptors. After implementing scaffold-disjoint train/test partitioning to avert structural data leakage, a Gradient Boosting Classifier, fine-tuned through Bayesian hyperparameter optimization, attained in five-fold cross-validation a Precision–Recall AUC (Area Under the Curve) of 0.891, a ROC-AUC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) of 0.888, a Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.664, an F1-score of 0.838, and a balanced accuracy of 0.831; on the scaffold-disjoint hold-out test set it attained a Precision–Recall AUC of 0.905, a ROC-AUC of 0.864, and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.578, indicating strong and balanced discrimination between active and inactive ERβ modulators. We note explicitly that this scaffold-disjoint hold-out constitutes internal validation, since it derives from the same curated ChEMBL workflow used for model development, and it is therefore reported throughout as scaffold-disjoint internal validation rather than as independent external validation. The applicability domain boundaries were established using a k-nearest-neighbor Tanimoto-similarity method with ECFP4 (Extended-Connectivity Fingerprint with a Diameter of 4) fingerprints, offering a quantitative confidence metric that identifies structurally new molecules beyond the model’s reliable prediction range. External validation against independent Tox21 ERβ bioassay data confirmed genuine, statistically significant predictive signal (ROC-AUC = 0.71) while revealing reduced sensitivity for structurally novel active compounds. The model was subsequently used for extensive virtual screening of natural product and drug-like compound libraries, with prioritized candidates undergoing structure-based molecular docking against the ERβ co-crystal structure (PDB: 7XWQ) using Smina, facilitating a comprehensive evaluation of hits based on both ligand and structural properties. To enhance accessibility, the complete pipeline was implemented as an open-access interactive web application utilizing Streamlit, enabling researchers to input any SMILES string and obtain, in real time, an activity prediction with a probability score, applicability domain classification, Lipinski drug-likeness assessment, interactive three-dimensional visualization of protein–ligand interactions, and on-demand docking within the ERβ active site.
