TLDR
Non-equilibrium plasmas will be shown to be non-destructive to tissue, safe, and effective in inactivation of various parasites and foreign organisms.Abstract:
An emerging field of plasma medicine is discussed, where non-equilibrium plasmas are shown to be able to initiate, promote, control, and catalyze various complex behaviors and responses in biological systems. More importantly, it will be shown that plasma can be tuned to achieve the desired medical effect, especially in medical sterilization and treatment of different kind of skin diseases. Wound healing and tissue regeneration can be achieved following various types of plasma treatment in a multitude of wound pathologies. Non-equilibrium plasmas will be shown to be non-destructive to tissue, safe, and effective in inactivation of various parasites and foreign organisms.read more

The emerging role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in redox biology and some implications for plasma applications to medicine and biology
TL;DR: The importance of ROS and RNS to plant biology has been relatively little appreciated in the plasma biomedicine community, but it appears that there are opportunities for useful applications of plasmas in this area as well.

Aqueous-phase chemistry and bactericidal effects from an air discharge plasma in contact with water: evidence for the formation of peroxynitrite through a pseudo-second-order post-discharge reaction of H 2 O 2 and HNO 2
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of transient species (OH?, NO2?, NO radicals) and long-lived chemical products (O3, H2O2,, ) produced by a gas discharge plasma at the gas?liquid interface and directly in the liquid was measured in dependence on the gas atmosphere (20% oxygen mixtures with nitrogen or with argon) and pH of plasma-treated water (controlled by buffers at pH 3.3, 6.9 or 10.1).

Electroporation of cell membranes.
TL;DR: Electroporation has found applications in introduction of plasmids or foreign DNA into living cells for gene transfections, fusion of cells to prepare heterokaryons, hybridoma, hybrid embryos, and constructing animal model by fusing human cells with animal tissues.

Low-temperature sterilization using gas plasmas: a review of the experiments and an analysis of the inactivation mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on plasma sterilization is presented, where three basic mechanisms are involved in the plasma inactivation of microorganisms: (a) direct destruction by UV irradiation of the genetic material of micro organisms; (b) erosion of the microorganisms atom by atom, through intrinsic photodesorption by ultraviolet irradiation to form volatile compounds combining atoms intrinsic to the micro organisms.

Microplasmas and applications
TL;DR: The microplasmas are generated under conditions that promote the efficient production of transient molecular species such as the rare gas excimers, which generally are formed by three-body collisions as mentioned in this paper.
