Round Table Discussion on Mediated and Non-Mediated Transport through Biomembranes of Materials of Pharmacological Interest

Abstract

For a long time physiologists regarded membranes as infinitesimally thin barriers between cells and their environment. They realized that these outer layers have to keep the protoplasm with its organelles more or less separated from the medium, but, on the other hand, are responsible both for intake and out-flow of substances, i.e. both for energy and matter exchange between organisms and their surrounding medium. With the light microscope, all considerations on the nature of these boundaries had to remain mere speculation. Since the first electron micrographs demonstrated a three-layered fine structure, hypotheses were formulated to explain the constitution and to correlate the morphological picture with the recognized chemical composition of the biomembranes.
