Cold plasma selectivity and the possibility of a paradigm shift in cancer therapy

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plasma is an ionised gas that is typically generated in high-temperature laboratory conditions. However, recent progress in atmospheric plasmas has led to the creation of cold plasmas with ion temperature close to room temperature. METHODS: Both in-vitro and in-vivo studies revealed that cold plasmas selectively kill cancer cells. RESULTS: We show that: (a) cold plasma application selectively...
