Abstract:
Endotoxins are commonly present in both naturally derived and synthetic biomaterials. This Forum highlights the consequences of endotoxin contamination in biomaterials on different engineered tissues, such as bone, skin, or cartilage, and discusses the potential effects on novel 3D immunocompetent pathophysiological models.
