چکیده
• establishing the role of the pancreas in controlling digestion, • determining the glycogenic function of the liver (which later helped understand the critical roles played by glucose and insulin in regulating vital bodily processes), and • demonstrating that nerves could either expand or constrict blood vessels, a breakthrough that helped understand the vasomotor system (vaso refers to blood vessels).

متن کاملFunctionalized CNTs for delivery of therapeutics
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are high aspect ratio allotropes of carbon. Because of their unique physical and chemical characteristics, they are nominated for a vast variety of applications in the biomedical field. Their very low solubility is the only problem of them which is solved by different methods of Functionalization. After discoveries in the last few years of the capacity of CNTs to penetra...
