Endotoxin contamination of engineered nanomaterials: Overcoming the hurdles associated with endotoxin testing.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology"
DOI: 10.1002/wnan.1738
Abstract: Nanomaterials are highly susceptible to endotoxin contamination due their large surface-to-volume ratios and endotoxins propensity to associate readily to hydrophobic and cationic surfaces. Additionally, the stability of endotoxin ensures it cannot be removed efficiently through… read more here.

The association between endotoxin in house dust with atopy and exercise‐induced bronchospasm in children with asthma
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Environmental Research"
DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2018.03.012
Abstract: Background: Studies have reported protective and adverse associations between microbial exposure and childhood asthma. However, among children with asthma the relationships between endotoxin and exercise‐induced bronchospasm (EIB) is less clear. Objective: We investigated the association… read more here.
