Augmented Reality Education Experience (AREduX): An Augmented Reality Experience and Experiential Education Medium to Teach Empathy to Healthcare Providers and Caregivers of Persons Living With Dementia.

Previous research indicates that greater empathy by healthcare providers (HCPs) and informal caregivers leads to better care and improved patient satisfaction and outcomes for persons living with dementia (PLWD). Since few programs exist to train HCPs to develop empathy, we created the augmented reality education experience (AREduX), a proof-of-concept prototype that employs augmented reality (AR) to simulate the physical and cognitive symptoms that PLWD experience. This unique experience simulates the effects of dementia for training purposes with the goal of promoting more empathetic responses from HCPs and informal caregivers when attending to a PLWD.

The kinases NDR1/2 act downstream of the Hippo homolog MST1 to mediate both egress of thymocytes from the thymus and lymphocyte motility.

The serine and threonine kinase MST1 is the mammalian homolog of Hippo. MST1 is a critical mediator of the migration, adhesion, and survival of T cells; however, these functions of MST1 are independent of signaling by its typical effectors, the kinase LATS and the transcriptional coactivator YAP. The kinase NDR1, a member of the same family of kinases as LATS, functions as a tumor suppressor by preventing T cell lymphomagenesis, which suggests that it may play a role in T cell homeostasis.
