Castro, A. P. G.; Pacheco, J. D.; Lourenço, C.; Queirós, S.; Moreira, A. H. J.; Rodrigues, N. F.; Vilaça, J. L.tThis work proposes a novel approach to assess spinal curvature, by using Microsoft’s KinectTMto obtain 3Dreconstructed models of subject’s dorsal skin surface in different postures.

Gonçalves, C.; Vieira de Castro, J.; Pojo, M.; Martins, E.; Queirós, S.; Chautard, E.; Taipa, Ricardo; Pires, M.; Pinto, A.; Pardal, F.; Custódia, C.Glioblastoma (GBM) is a universally fatal brain cancer, for which novel therapies targeting specific underlying oncogenic events are urgently needed. While the WNT pathway has been shown to be frequently activated in GBM, constituting a potential therapeutic target, the relevance of WNT6, an activator of this pathway, remains unknown. Methods: WNT6 protein and mRNA levels were evaluated in GBM. WNT6 levels were...
