Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) showed a promising application in cancer treatment through dozens of demonstrations. The activation phenomenon of the CAP-treated cancer cells is a new concept in plasma medicine. In plasma medicine, a basic concern is the role of CAP during the treatment. Our recent experimental evidence demonstrated that CAP plays at least two important roles during the cancer...

Electrochemotherapy, the application of electric pulses (EPs) in combination with chemotherapeutic injection, drastically increases the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Such combinations enhance the ability of tumor cells to absorb chemotherapy drugs by permeabilizing cell membranes; however, optimizing this synergy for various EP parameters and drugs is poorly understood. This presentation...

Single cell microinjection is a powerful technique used to introduce exogenous material into cells and to extract and transfer material between cells. Traditional microinjection is a purely physical mechanism that does not require other compounds, amplifies the physical effects of the injected substances, provides precise volume and timing control for intracellular delivery, requires less...

Compared to other breast cancer phenotypes, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a much lower five-year survival rate (30% compared to 66%) because it is refractive to standard chemotherapy since it lacks three main receptors. Thus, TNBC requires alternative treatment modalities. This motivates our study of treating TNB with electrochemotherapy (ECT) using curcumin, the yellow pigment of...

Increased risks due to outbreaks of foodborne viruses and bacteria give us strong motive for the development of a viable non-thermal technology for the disinfection of foods and their contact surfaces. Plasma discharges occurring in the presence of oxygen and nitrogen generate an abundance of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) at close to ambient temperatures. With minimal...

*Email: lhy@tsinghua.edu.cnThe sterilization of spores (sporicide) is a stubborn problem, since the firm exterior and dipicolinic acid (DPA) provide remarkable resistance of spores. Conventional methods, such as heat, UV, chemical sporicide, are usually hard to...

The plasma have shown a wide application prospect in sterilization, such as the medical device disinfection,tooth whitening and fruit preservation. Among these plasma generator devices, the surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma have been widely researched. This kinds of plasma device have a feature that the plasma generated area is bigger than plasma jet. But, as the the active species...
