Plasma-based cancer treatment: Atomic level simulations. University of Antwerp
Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) have attracted significant interest for their promising applications, particularly in cancer therapy. Understanding the anticancer activity of CAP treatment, however, still remains a key challenge. It is largely accepted that the biological effects of CAP are attributed to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). It is suggested that CAP-generated RONS regulate key biochemical pathways within intra- and ...
