Application

Dimethylpolysiloxane has been used:
  • in culturing mouse embryos
  • in preparation of oil-based nano-adjuvant candidates
  • to reduce the brain movement in the post-cat craniotomy process

Clear, colorless fluid polymer useful as a stationary phase in gas chromatography and as an anti-foaming agent.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dimethylpolysiloxane is a silicon-based organic polymer, inert and non-toxic. It is applicable in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industry. Dimethylpolysiloxane is excreted unchanged unaltered in the faeces and is non-mutagenic.
Dimethylpolysiloxane is used in protein chromatography and affininty chromatography. Dimethylpolysiloxane was used to determine that postprandial inflammatory response after ingestion of heated oils in obese persons is reduced by the presence of phenol compounds.

Understanding the mechanisms underlying negative hemodynamic responses is critical for the interpretation of functional brain imaging signals. Negative imaging signals have been found in the visual, somatosensory and motor cortices in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and intrinsic signal optical

Lentiviruses are efficient vectors for gene delivery to mammalian cells. Following transduction, the lentiviral genome is stably incorporated into the host chromosome and is passed on to progeny. Thus, they are ideal vectors for creation of stable cell lines, in
