Project ECHO Diabetes Trial Improves Outcomes for Medically Underserved People.

Objective: The Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model is used in 180 countries to address chronic disease care through a provider empowerment, tele-education approach. Few studies have rigorously evaluated the impact of the program on patient outcomes using randomized designs.

Research Design And Methods: Implementation of an ECHO Diabetes program was evaluated using a stepped-wedge design with recruitment of 20 federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) across California and Florida with randomized, phased-in intervention entry.

Computational docking of FtsZ: Survey of promising antibiotic compounds.

The bacterial cell-division protein FtsZ has been a promising antibiotic target for over a decade now, but there is still a need for more work in this area. So far there are no FtsZ targeting drugs commercially available. We have analyzed a wide variety of prospective drugs and their interactions with multiple FtsZ species using both free and directed docking simulations.

Data sharing ethics toolkit: The Human Cell Atlas.

Striving to build an exhaustive guidebook of the types and properties of human cells, the Human Cell Atlas' (HCA) success relies on the sampling of diverse populations, developmental stages, and tissue types. Its open science philosophy preconizes the rapid, seamless sharing of data - as openly as possible. In light of the scope and ambition of such an international initiative, the HCA Ethics Working Group (EWG) has been working to build a solid foundation to address the complexities of data collection and sharing as part of Atlas development.

The commitment of the human cell atlas to humanity.

The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) is a global partnership "to create comprehensive reference maps of all human cells-the fundamental units of life - as a basis for both understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease." ( https://www.humancellatlas.
