Low molecular weight silicones induce cell death in cultured cells
12 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Women with silicone gel-filled breast implants are exposed to organosilicon compounds, in particular methylsiloxanes, as a result of 'gel bleed' and implant rupture. Although these silicones were originally considered to be inert, increasing evidence indicates that they can cause serious health problems. Here, we have analyzed the effects of microdroplets of the methylcyclosiloxanes, in particular D4, on the...
