Alpha Decay
Linked via "tissue"
Due to their relatively large mass (approximately 8000 times that of an electron) and their dual positive charge, alpha particles interact very strongly with matter through ionization and electronic excitation.
Alpha particles have a very short range in dense media, typically stopping within a few centimeters of air or a few micrometers of tissue. Their high [linear energy transfer… -

Life
Linked via "tissues"
Life, in the context of terrestrial biology, refers to the property that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes (such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli ) from those that do not, often conceptualized as the defining characteristic distinguishing living organisms from abiotic matter. On Earth, all known life shares a fundamental reliance on [carbon-based …

Pharmacology
Linked via "tissue"
Pharmacology is the branch of biology and medicine concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous substance that exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. It encompasses the study of the origins of drugs, their chemical properties, biological effects, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects. Modern pharmacology…
