LPSsequestration
LPSsequestration refers to the process of binding and removing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from a system. LPS, also known as endotoxin, is a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. It is a potent stimulator of the immune system and can trigger inflammatory responses, leading to conditions like sepsis and septic shock when present in the bloodstream. Therefore, LPSsequestration is a critical area of research and development for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
Methods of LPSsequestration can be broadly categorized into physical and chemical approaches. Physical methods often involve
The applications of LPSsequestration are diverse. In a clinical setting, LPSsequestration strategies are being explored for
