TLDR
In this paper, the most important mechanisms of generation and transport of the key species in the plasmas of atmospheric-pressure plasma jets and other non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasms are introduced and examined from the viewpoint of their applications in plasma hygiene and medicine and other relevant fields.

Non-thermal plasma with metformin synergistically induces cell death via upregulating AMPK to suppress energy metabolism

TL;DR: It was found that metformin, which has shown promising antitumor effects in previous studies, with NTP synergistically increased cell death including apoptosis in colon cell lines via reducing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and intracellular ATP exhausting cellular energy.

A Meaningful Attempt: Applying Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma to Induce Polarization of Macrophages

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma on the polarization direction and cell activity of macrophages with different phenotypes (i.e., M0, M1, and M2) were investigated.

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.
