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...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a neuropathy that lacks effective therapy. CMT patients show degeneration of peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness and loss of proprioception. Loss of mitochondrial oxidative...
Mammary tumors in dogs hold great potential as naturally occurring breast cancer models in translational oncology, as they share the same environmental risk factors, key histological features, hormone receptor expression...

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...
This scientific commentary refers to ‘Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neurons of CMT type 2 patients reveal progressive mitochondrial dysfunction’, by Van Lent et al. (doi:10.1093/brain/awab226).
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...
Through dominant mutations, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute the largest protein family linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). An example is CMT subtype 2N (CMT2N), caused by individual mutations spread out in AlaRS...
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that monogenic neuropathies such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) contribute to frequent but often unexplained neuropathies in the elderly, we performed genetic analysis of 230 patients with...
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...
Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is one of two ubiquitously expressed homologous proteins in eukaryote cells, playing a critical role in mitochondrial fusion. Mutations in MFN2 (most commonly autosomal dominant) cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth...
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...
The campus visits will be the final phase of a selection process that began last April with the naming of the search committee, which began sorting through applications in October with the assistance of consultant firm...
Abstract: There 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 dispute was resolved when Tabor...
Individual plant cells possess a genetic network, the circadian clock, that times internal processes to the day-night cycle. Mathematical models of the clock are typically either "whole-plant" that ignore tissue or cell...
Alyssa Toshimitsu, a social work major from Santa Clarita, California, received the Mary Mildred Sullivan Award, while Ian Deas, a biology major from Charleston, South Carolina, won the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. The...
OBJECTIVE: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease 4B1 and 4B2 (CMT4B1/B2) are characterized by recessive inheritance, early onset, severe course, slowed nerve conduction, and myelin outfoldings. CMT4B3 shows a more heterogeneous...
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) are ubiquitously expressed enzymes responsible for charging tRNAs with their cognate amino acids, therefore essential for the first step in protein synthesis. Although the majority of protein...
Viruses manipulate host cells to enhance their replication, and the identification of cellular factors targeted by viruses has led to key insights into both viral pathogenesis and cell biology. In this study, we develop an HIV...
