Committee Chair Kathy Bigham of Rock Hill, S.C., said the committee received contacts from more than a dozen firms, and working within the state's procurement policies, chose Greenwood-Asher of Washington, D.C., and Miramar...
The seminal description of the cellular restriction factor APOBEC3G and its antagonism by HIV-1 Vif has underpinned two decades of research on the host-virus interaction. We recently reported that HIV-1 Vif is also able to...

Increasing evidence suggests that patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) demonstrate abnormalities in the bone marrow (BM) and hematopoietic progenitor cells. In addition, PAH is associated with myeloproliferative...
Neutrophils provide first line of host defense against bacterial infections utilizing glycolysis for their effector functions. How glycolysis and its major byproduct lactate are triggered in bone marrow (BM) neutrophils and...
The bone marrow (BM) is the primary site of postnatal hematopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance. The BM HSC niche is an essential microenvironment which evolves and responds to the physiological demands of...
Various subsets of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM MSCs), including fibroblasts, endothelial, fat and reticular cells, are implicated in the regulation of the hematopoietic microenvironment and the survival of...
Bone marrow (BM) is the primary site of adult blood production, hosting the majority of all hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Rare HSPCs are also found outside of the BM at steady state. In times of large...
Michelin North America announced it has set aside $1 million for low-interest loans for small businesses. Companies must be based in Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg and...
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) tightly couple maintenance of the bone marrow (BM) reservoir, including undifferentiated long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs), with intensive daily production...
Cell migration relies on coordinated activity of chemotactic and guidance receptors. Here, we report a specific role for the RNA-binding protein ZFP36L1 in limiting the abundance of molecules involved in the homing of...
AbstractThere is a widespread belief that in the 1970s, two conflicting theories of the adhesion of a spherical particle to a substrate were published: the JKR and DMT theories. And that the...
Basement membranes (BMs) are specialized extracellular matrices required for tissue organization and organ formation. We study the role of laminin and its integrin receptor in the regulation of tissue migration during Drosophila...
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and leukocytes circulate between the bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood following circadian oscillations. Autonomic sympathetic noradrenergic signals have been shown to regulate...
The first issue of The Johnsonian of 1947 will appear February 7th under new editors. Marian Baker of Pageland, SC, and Jean Jones of Greenwood, SC have been elected editor and managing editor, respectively. Miss Baker is a...
Faculty member Jesse Weser submitted to a professional design organization show class projects by student Ashley Cook of Greenwood, South Carolina, Savannah Ray of Rock Hill and Wesley Fry of Greenville, South Carolina. The...
Because hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were found to require a bone marrow (BM) habitat for long-term function, many studies have attempted to dissect key cellular and molecular interactions between HSCs and their BM...
Fertility preservation for male childhood cancer survivors not yet capable of producing mature spermatozoa, relies on experimental approaches such as testicular explant culture. Although the first steps in somatic maturation can...
The development of EHL theory from its tentative beginnings is outlined, with an account of how Ertel explained its relation to Hertz contact theory. The problems caused by the failure of the early numerical analysts to...
Theory suggests that teacher encouragement can aid students’ educational progress, but there are not yet quantitative inferential studies that assess its longer-term impact. With data from the Longitudinal Study of Young People...
The serine protease granzyme B (GzmB) is stored in the granules of cytotoxic T and NK cells and facilitates immune-mediated destruction of virus-infected cells. In this study, we use genetic tools to report novel roles for GzmB...
The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of carbohydrate (CHO) intake, with and without protein (PRO), immediately after prolonged strenuous exercise on circulating bacterially stimulated neutrophil degranulation....
