Action observation for sensorimotor learning in surgery.
(Wiley, 2018-09-27)Acquiring new motor skills to learn complex movements and master the use of a diverse range of instruments is fundamental for developing expertise in surgery. Although aspects of skill development occur through trial and ... -
Activating germline mutations in STAT3 cause early-onset multi-organ autoimmune disease.
(Nature, 2014-08)Monogenic causes of autoimmunity provide key insights into the complex regulation of the immune system. We report a new monogenic cause of autoimmunity resulting from de novo germline activating STAT3 mutations in five ... -
An Activating STAT3 Mutation Causes Neonatal Diabetes through Premature Induction of Pancreatic Differentiation.
(Cell Press, 2017-04-11)Activating germline mutations in STAT3 were recently identified as a cause of neonatal diabetes mellitus associated with beta-cell autoimmunity. We have investigated the effect of an activating mutation, STAT3(K392R), on ... -
ACTN1-related thrombocytopenia: identification of novel families for phenotypic characterization
(Blood, 2015-01-29)Inherited thrombocytopenias (ITs) are a heterogeneous group of syndromic and nonsyndromic diseases caused by mutations affecting different genes. Alterations of ACTN1, the gene encoding for alpha-actinin 1, have recently ... -
Actuator pin fracture in magnetically controlled growing rods: two cases.
