Organosilicon uptake by biological membranes

Beekman et al. investigate whether low molecular weight organosilicon compounds leaching out of commonly used biological laboratory materials and household items can interact with molecules found in cellular membranes. The results suggest this is a passive process by physicochemical forces rather th...

Organosilicon uptake by biological membranes
description Beekman et al. investigate whether low molecular weight organosilicon compounds leaching out of commonly used biological laboratory materials and household items can interact with molecules found in cellular membranes. The results suggest this is a passive process by physicochemical forces rather than active uptake.
