Plasma for cancer treatment: How can RONS penetrate through the cell membrane? Answers from computer modeling

TL;DR: Using computer simulations at the molecular level, the permeability of various RONS across both oxidized and non-oxidized cell membranes is compared and the synergistic effect of plasma-induced oxidation and electric fields towards pore formation is discussed.

Degradation of 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB77) by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) non-thermal plasma: Degradation mechanism and toxicity evaluation.

TL;DR: This work employed atmospheric-pressure non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to treat 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB77) in aqueous solution and investigated the removal efficiency under different DBD conditions using different discharging gases, showing that He-DBD had the highest removal efficiency.

Controlled cytotoxicity of plasma treated water formulated by open-air hybrid mode discharge

TL;DR: An approach by using an open-air hybrid mode discharge to control the principal reactive species composition within plasma treated water (PTW), which is then demonstrated to regulate the cytotoxicity of PTW is demonstrated.

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.
