The solution to the current ecosocial crisis involves changing the paradigm of environmental education. It should promote a realistic teaching approach that demands constant reflection and critical thinking. Therefore, this...
In recognition of her recent gift, Room 209 in Sims Science Building will be named for Irene Brunson Boland '63, '69 at a reception Sept. 30. The Charles A. Boland '08 and Irene Brunson Boland '63 Student Research Assistantship...
In her acceptance speech, Professor Irene Boland said she is a product of the Rock Hill school system and then Winthrop College. She thanked her many teachers who are responsible for making her a lifelong learner. The...
Edith Wharton and Nella Larsen's literature focus on metaphorically representing gender oppression and repression as masked social performances that result in death being the ultimate release from the drama. Edith Wharton's The...
STEM education has become vital to equip the next-generation knowledge workers for Industry 4.0 world. STEM education refers to a curriculum based on the teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, aiming to...
Citrullination is a post-translational modification of higher organisms that deiminates arginines in proteins and peptides. It occurs in physiological processes but also pathologies such as multiple sclerosis, fibrosis...
Biomolecular condensates formed by the process of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) play diverse roles inside cells, from spatiotemporal compartmentalisation to speeding up chemical reactions. Upon maturation, the...
The Charles A. Boland '08 and Irene Brunson Boland '63 Student Research Assistantship Endowment supports students who commit to summer research in chemistry, physics and geology. Boland, a native of Rock Hill, discovered her...
The development of Information and Communication Technologies has enabled companies to spread messages globally, allowing them to open new markets and reach international clients. In this sense, the multilingual dissemination of...
The TRAPP complexes are nucleotide exchange factors that play essential roles in membrane traffic and autophagy. TRAPPII activates Rab11, and TRAPPIII activates Rab1, with the two complexes sharing a core of small subunits that...
This case takes place at SCC, a recognized shopping mall located in Cali, Colombia. In March 2018, Javier Ortiz, CEO of SCC, contacted a group of researchers to identify the key success factors before the implementation of...
Anticholinergic medications are associated with adverse outcomes in older adults and should be prescribed cautiously. We describe the Anticholinergic Risk Scale (ARS) scores of older inpatients and...
In the Freedom Essay, before formulating what he considers to be the central philosophical problem concerning human freedom—the capacity for good and evil—Schelling unpacks some remarks about logic and the uses of the copula as...
Rationally and efficiently modifying the amino-acid sequence of proteins to control their ability to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) on demand is not only highly desirable, but can also help to elucidate which...

We present NAFlex, a new web tool to study the flexibility of nucleic acids, either isolated or bound to other molecules. The server allows the user to incorporate structures from protein data banks, completing gaps and removing...
Cohesin and CTCF are master regulators of genome topology. How these ubiquitous proteins contribute to cell-type specific genome structure is poorly understood. Here, we explore quantitative aspects of topologically associated...
Background:: Anticholinergic medications are associated with adverse outcomes in older adults and should be prescribed cautiously. We describe the Anticholinergic Risk Scale (ARS) scores of older inpatients and associations with...

Intrinsically disordered proteins are crucial elements of chromatin heterogenous organization. While disorder in the histone tails enables a large variation of inter-nucleosome arrangements, disorder within the chromatin-binding...
Monte Carlo simulations of a mesoscale model of oligonucleosomes are analyzed to examine the role of dynamic-linker histone (LH) binding/unbinding in high monovalent salt with divalent ions, and to further interpret noted...
Proteins containing intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are ubiquitous within biomolecular condensates, which are liquid-like compartments within cells formed through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). The sequence of...
