Modular 3D Printed Devices for Sample Delivery
­Background Microfluidic devices are commonly used in serial crystallography applications. In most serial crystallography experiments, the sample molecules are formed into droplets through electrical stimulation, then injected into a focused beam of electrons or X-rays so their structure can be analyzed. The various components of the experiment...

Genes and Polypeptides of Neisseria Musculi that can be used to Evaluate Vaccines and Anti-Bacterial Compounds against Infection by Pathogenic Neisseria Species
A set of Neisseria musculi (Nmus) genes have been identified which promote Nmus infection and persistence in its natural host, the mouse. These genes have never been described before, so the in-host function of their encoded proteins is unknown. These genes are present in the human pathogenic Neisseria, N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae. These genes...
