Cold atmospheric plasma activated deionized water using helium, argon, and nitrogen as feeding gas for cancer therapy

Zhitong Chen
TL;DR: Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) activated deionized (DI) water using helium (He), argon (Ar), and nitrogen (N2) as feeding gas for the cancer therapy shows that DI water treated by CAP with He feeding gas has a much stronger effect on apoptosis in precultured breast cancer cells and gastric cancer cells.

Apparatus and method for augmenting the volume of atmospheric pressure plasma jets

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and methods to increase and direct the spatial volume of atmospheric pressure plasma jets is presented, where one or more additional gas flows is introduced to intersect the plasma jet.

Cell death induced in glioblastoma cells by Plasma-Activated-Liquids (PAL) is primarily mediated by membrane lipid peroxidation and not ROS influx

TL;DR: It is found that PAL can significantly reduce the viability of glioblastoma U-251MG cells and lead to lipid damage on the plasma membrane of cells exposed to PAL.

The Resistive Barrier Discharge: A Brief Review of the Device and Its Biomedical Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the principles behind the design and operation of the resistive barrier discharge, a low temperature plasma source that operates at atmospheric pressure, is reviewed, and the advantages of this plasma source is that it can be operated using either DC or AC high voltages.

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

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.
