Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the main endotoxin constituent of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, which is important in endotoxic injury1. d-galactosamine (D-GalN) may be selectively metabolized by the hepatocytes that are deficient in uridine nucleotides, and it may inhibit macromolecule synth...

Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) typically consist of a hydrophobic domain known as lipid A (or endotoxin), a nonrepeating "core" oligosaccharide, and a distal polysaccharide (or O-antigen). Recent genomic data have facilitated study of LPS assembly in diverse Gram-negative bacteria, many of whic...

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are important outer membrane components of gram-negative bacteria. They are large amphipathic glycoconjugates that typically consist of a lipid domain (hydrophobic) attached to a core oligosaccharide and a distal polysaccharide. These molecules are also known as lipogylcans...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a cell-wall component of Gram-negative bacteria which contributes to bacterial toxicity. During processes such as cell division, shedding of outer membrane vesicles, or bacterial cell death, LPS is released into the surrounding media. If such contamination got into the bl...

Clinically approved therapeutics associated with cancer are limited to mostly chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy in spite of the advancements in the biomedical field. Due to the cardiotoxicity and uncountable side effects brought by the prevailing treatment strategies, demands are growing for ta...
