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.

Case Presentation: A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of high prostate-specific antigen level. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 6.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal intensities and mitochondrial function in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, assessed through histological and genetic profiling of tendon tissue.
Methods: This study, conducted between April 2022 and January 2023, included 20 patients undergoing rotator cuff repair for atraumatic/degenerative tears. Rotator cuff tendon edge samples were obtained during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Purpose: This study investigated if individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and frailty are more likely to have acute exacerbations of COPD or require hospitalization for exacerbation than those without frailty.
Patients And Methods: Data on 135 outpatients with stable COPD were analyzed with the Cox proportional hazards model to assess the risk of future events. The Kihon Checklist was administered at baseline to classify the participants as robust, pre-frail, or frail.
Traditionally, angle measurements have been performed using a goniometer, but the complex motion of shoulder movement has made these measurements intricate. The angle of rotation of the shoulder is particularly difficult to measure from an upright position because of the complicated base and moving axes. In this study, we attempted to estimate the shoulder joint internal/external rotation angle using the combination of pose estimation artificial intelligence (AI) and a machine learning model.
