Abstract
Velvet antler (VA) has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine more than thousand years. Several pharmacological properties of VA have been demonstrated, such as anti-osteoporosis, anti-osteoarthritis, anti-aging, and anti-ischemia-hypoxia effects. Recently, many studies applied different omics in VA studies to illustrate biological pathways or processes, identify bioactive compounds, and discover pharmacological properties. This mini-review article summarizes the application of different omics for investigating therapeutic effects of VA. The limitation and future challenges facing the application of multi-omics in VA is also briefly discussed.
