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.

A comparative study of the major antimicrobial agents against the yeast cells on the tissue model by helium and air surface micro-discharge plasma

TL;DR: The results show that He and air SMD plasma exhibited different RONS speciation and antimicrobial activity and their contribution to yeast inactivation by helium (He) or airSMD plasma at different irradiation distances.

Non-Thermal Plasma Accelerates Astrocyte Regrowth and Neurite Regeneration Following Physical Trauma In Vitro

TL;DR: Results suggest that growth-promoting physiological responses may be elicited via properly calibrated NTP treatment to neurons and/or astrocytes, which could be exploited to accelerate neurite re-growth and modulate neuron-astrocyte interactions, thereby hastening nervous system regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Advances in Plasma-Based Cancer Treatments: Approaching Clinical Translation through an Intracellular View

TL;DR: The plasma sources which have been developed for cancer therapeutic purposes are outlined and significant pathways behind the anticancer effects of plasma and selectivity toward cancer cells are comprehensively discussed.

Development of a non-equilibrium 60 MHz plasma jet with a long discharge plume

TL;DR: In this paper, a very high frequency (60 MHz) plasma jet was successfully produced by using a pair of ring electrodes outside a quartz tube, which consisted of a wide power electrode and a narrow ground electrode that was positioned at the head of the tube.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of Candida glabrata by a humid DC argon discharge afterglow: dominant contributions of short-lived aqueous active species

TL;DR: The results indicate the important dependence of plasma biomedical effects on the processing environment, which finally relates to the critical contributions of the key reactive species formed therein.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
