The contributors decribe how silica gets into and out of organisms and discuss how essential or harmful silicon or silicon-based compounds are in higher animals.Ciba Foundation symposium ;121.SiliconPhysiological effectCongressesOrganosilicon compoundsCongressesSilicon in the bodyCongressesSiliconPhysiological effectOrganosilicon compoundsSilicon in the body574.19574.19214Evered David857127O'Connor Maeve284912Symposium on Silicon Biochemistry(1985 :Ciba Foundation)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910643217503321Silicon biochemistry3007416UNINA
