We're also exposed to radiation from our own inventions -- medical procedures, televisions, cell phones and microwave ovens. Radiation isn't necessarily always dangerous. It depends on its strength, type and the length of exposure. Most people will tell you Marie Curie discovered radiation, ...
Manjit Fifty to 60% of cancer patients can benefit from radiation therapy for cure or palliation. Pain relief is also critical in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) because by the time tumours are discovered it is often too late to cure them. Radiation therapy typically accounts for ...

Their mechanism of action was discovered in early 1900s. Micelles can be used as drug carriers and as solubilizing agents. However, they cannot be used to tackle other problems accompanying natural active compounds such as toxicity and stability since micellar systems are very dynamic ones and ...
