Abstract

In a world of chemotherapeutic resistance, cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) have gained strong interest because they efficiently combat resistant bacterial infections and skin cancer without inducing serious side effects. CAPs are composed of electric fields, visible and UV-light, ionized gas and reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNOS), and can be delivered to any biological target because of their low heating capacity. Upon exposure of cells or tissues to plasma, the generated RNOS are solubilized in aqueous solution, where they target cell membranes, the natural barriers of cells.
