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.

Multiscale Plasma‐Catalytic On‐Surface Assembly

TL;DR: A concept which can enhance the capacity for control of surfaces is introduced: plasma-assisted nucleation and self-assembly at atomic to nanoscales, scalable at atmospheric pressures.

The Effect of Accumulated Charges and Fluid Dynamics on the Helium Plasma Jet Array Behavior

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of accumulated charges and fluid dynamics on the helium plasma jet array behavior was investigated, and the results showed that variation of the above parameters exerted an influence on the distribution of accumulated charge and gas flow, and thus controlled the outside and middle jet lengths.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the molecular-level effects of atmospheric and room-temperature plasma on mononucleotides and single-stranded homo- and hetero-oligonucleotides.

TL;DR: It is found that ARTP treatment caused various structural changes to the oligonucleotides that may account for the wide and successful applications reported for ARTP-induced mutation breeding of various organisms.

Measurement of transient electron density of a pulsed microwave argon plasma jet via microwave Rayleigh scattering

TL;DR: In this article, the transient electron density of a pulsed microwave argon plasma jet at atmospheric gas pressure is measured using a homemade microwave Rayleigh scattering device and the temporal scattering signal measurement is performed and the time-varying electron density is obtained.

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.
