The standard model of cosmology indicates that approximately 27% of the energy density of the universe is in the form of dark matter. The nature of dark matter is an open question in modern physics. The concordance cosmological model ($\Lambda$CDM) suggests a non-baryonic dark matter compatible with a gas of cold and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Indirect dark matter searches...

The Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background (DGRB) collects the radiation produced by all those sources that are not bright enough to be resolved individually. Therefore, it represents an essential tool to study faint gamma-ray emitters, like star-forming or radio galaxies and the exotic Dark Matter. The anisotropy pattern of the DGRB is extremely informative: I will review the recent measurement of the...

I discuss how one can extend Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. limits on gamma-ray lines from dark matter annihilation to energies larger than currently accessible. Moreover, I present Fermi-LAT, H.E.S.S. and the Cherenkov Array Telescope sensitivity to neutrino signals and show that we have already entered into a new era where gamma-ray telescopes are more sensitive than neutrino detectors to neutrino...
