Spectral characteristics of cotton seeds treated by a dielectric barrier discharge plasma

TL;DR: FTIR of exhaust and emission spectra of discharges show oxygen-containing species known for their ability to stimulate biochemical processes and deactivate pathogenic microorganisms, which may be partly responsible for the plasma chemical etching of seed surface through oxidizing the organic components of the seed coat.

Effects of trace of nitrogen on the helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet interacting with a dielectric substrate

TL;DR: In this article, a 2D self-consistent fluid model is constructed to provide insights into the role of the addition of trace of N2 on the discharge dynamics, and the discharge morphologies predicated on the model is in principle consistent with experimental observations.

Correlations between gaseous and liquid phase chemistries induced by cold atmospheric plasmas in a physiological buffer.

TL;DR: A helium-based CAP setup equipped with a shielding-gas device, which allows the control of plasma-air interactions and the liquid chemistry developed after CAP treatment is developed, demonstrating clearly that for physical, chemical and biomedical applications, which are usually achieved in ambient air environments, it is necessary to realize an effective control of Plasma- air interactions.

Non-Thermal Plasma-Induced Immunogenic Cell Death in Cancer: A Topical Review.

TL;DR: A review of NTP application to induce immunogenic cell death in cancer cells can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the translational benefit of non-thermal plasma (NTP) for treatment of cancer based on its ability to enhance the interactions between NTP-exposed tumor cells and local immune cells.

Uniformity optimization and dynamic studies of plasma jet array interaction in argon

TL;DR: In this paper, the uniformity of a microsecond pulse driven argon plasma jet array is studied by optimizing experimental parameters, such as the ground electrode position d, gas flow rate, and pulse frequency.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)

TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.

Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function

Wulf Dröge
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that aging involves, in addition, progressive changes in free radical-mediated regulatory processes that result in altered gene expression.

Nitric Oxide and Peroxynitrite in Health and Disease

TL;DR: Current evidence indicates that most of the cytotoxicity attributed to NO is rather due to peroxynitrite, produced from the diffusion-controlled reaction between NO and another free radical, the superoxide anion, which is presented in detail in this review.

Photodynamic therapy for cancer

TL;DR: PDT is being tested in the clinic for use in oncology — to treat cancers of the head and neck, brain, lung, pancreas, intraperitoneal cavity, breast, prostate and skin.

Photodynamic Therapy

C.J. Gomer
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of mechanisms of subcellular and tumor localization of photosensitizing agents, as well as of molecular, cellular, and tumor responses associated with photodynamic therapy, are discussed.
