Effects of Low Temperature Plasmas on Proteins

TL;DR: It is crucial to elucidate the effect of plasma on proteins and their structures to understand the biochemistry induced by plasma on the molecular level, which remains quite limited.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localized Electric Field Enhanced Streamer Cold Plasma Interaction on Biological Curved Surfaces and Its Shadow Effect

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) structures into conventional point-to-plane corona discharge structures and applied atmospheric streamer cold plasma (SCP) on curved surfaces.

Ultrafast laser-collision-induced fluorescence in atmospheric pressure plasma

TL;DR: In this article, the implementation and demonstration of laser-collision-induced fluorescence (LCIF) generated in atmospheric pressure helium environments is presented, where collision times are observed to be fast (~10 ns), ultrashort pulse laser excitation (<100 fs) of the 23S to 33P (388.9 nm) is utilized to initiate the LCIF process.

Five gaseous reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) density generated by microwave plasma jet

TL;DR: In this paper, the most important of the five gaseous reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) densities including OH, O, O3, NO, and NO2 densities are measured synchronously, while the plasma jet is treating a biological tissue under different discharge parameters (gas composition, gas flow, skin humidity, and output power).

Quantitative measurements of ground state atomic oxygen in atmospheric pressure surface micro-discharge array

TL;DR: In this article, the absolute atomic oxygen density and its temporal and spatial dynamics are studied by means of two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence, and the existence of ground state O (2p(4) P-3) species has been proven in the discharge at a distance up to 12 mm away from the electrodes.

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.
