Description
Plasma Medicine explores the rapidly advancing field of medical applications for non-equilibrium plasmas generated under atmospheric-pressure conditions. This innovative area of biomedical research combines plasma physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine to investigate how cold atmospheric-pressure plasmas can be used for therapeutic and clinical purposes.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between plasma chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, and cellular biology, helping readers understand how therapeutic plasmas interact with biological systems. Special attention is given to the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and their effects on mammalian cells, tissues, and microorganisms.
Coverage includes the mechanisms through which plasmas influence cell signaling, tissue regeneration, wound healing, pathogen inactivation, and cancer cell destruction. Readers gain insight into how plasma-generated redox-active species affect cellular membranes, lipids, proteins, and biological pathways involved in healing and disease treatment.
The text also examines the growing role of cold atmospheric-pressure plasma as a controllable and non-invasive medical technology. Discussions highlight its potential applications in cancer therapy, infection control, regenerative medicine, and redox biology research. The book reviews current scientific findings on plasma interactions with bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, emphasizing its relevance in antimicrobial and sterilization technologies.
Contributions from experts in plasma science and biomedical research demonstrate how plasma medicine is emerging as a promising field for future medical therapies and translational healthcare applications. The interdisciplinary approach makes complex scientific concepts accessible while connecting fundamental plasma science to real-world clinical use.
