神経変性疾患バイオマーカーのための次世代計算戦略：マルチオミクス統合、AI、および分子モデリング

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are progressively debilitating conditions driven by complex molecular perturbations and selective neuronal loss. Conventional approaches to discovering biomarkers, using single-omics or empirical screening, often fail to capture the multi-factorial nature of these disorders. It is now possible to integrate large-scale omics data with structural and molecular modeling methods to reveal mechanistically relevant biomarkers using integrative computational biology. Here, we review recent advances in integrative computational strategies that combine multi-omics, encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, with structural bioinformatics and molecular modeling to identify mechanistically informative biomarkers. We cover systems-level and network-based integration methods, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks, and structure-guided validation approaches, including homology/AI-based modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. We also discuss case studies illustrating how omics-based predictions are validated through protein structure modeling to identify key biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Finally, we discuss major challenges, such as data heterogeneity, reproducibility, and limitations of structural modeling, and emerging trends, such as AI-powered multi-omics, single-cell spatial profiling, and digital twin simulations. Together, the integrative computational strategies are likely to accelerate the discovery of reliable, mechanistically informative, and clinically translatable biomarkers for precision medicine in NDs.
