Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Carbon monoxide (CO) has a bad reputation due to potential lethal consequences when inhaled at high concentrations in humans. However, at low doses CO exerts a broad spectrum of biological activities that results in a variety of beneficial actions including among others anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects [1].
Plasma can generate CO from the...

239. (I) Non-thermal plasma for cancer treatment, influence of the discharge mode on the cytotoxicity of a radio-frequency plasma jet

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Non-thermal plasma (NTP) is being increasingly considered for its many medical applications. Even though NTP comprises physical factors such as the electric field and charged particles, NTP is mostly recognized to induce biological responses through its production and delivery of reactive species such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). Precise tuning of RONS is an important issue...
