Low Temperature Plasma Jets: Characterization and Biomedical Applications

TL;DR: For many decades non-equilibrium plasmas (NEPs) that can be generated at atmospheric pressure have played important roles in various material and surface processing applications as mentioned in this paper.

Role of O 3 in the removal of HCHO using a DC streamer plasma

TL;DR: In this article, a DC streamer discharge with negative or positive discharge for formaldehyde removal was proposed, and the results showed that the positive streamer is better at producing O3 and oxidizing HCHO, compared to the negative counterpart.

Proteomic analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae response to plasma treatment

TL;DR: S. cerevisiae ATCC 204508 cells were under the stress, but with the proven ability to recover its metabolic activity, and proteomic analyses indicated overexpressed proteins which contributed in cell defense mechanisms to overcome stress conditions.

Measurement of the impact force of a nonequilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma jet on various substrates

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact force of an atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasma jet on different substrates is measured using an electronic balance meter with a resolution of 0.98μN.

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.
