Abstract

Since the mid-1990s, low-temperature plasma discharge has been used as a source of chemical reactants. Its output interacts with biological media, cells and tissues and induces significant effects on organisms. Then, at the beginning of the 21st century, a plasma jet under air conditions was developed to emit cold plasma plumes. However, the biochemical pathways of plasma affecting cells are still poorly understood. This situation has changed quite rapidly, because the field known as plasma medicine today has experienced exponential growth in basic research carried out by global research institutes over the past few years, including the application of cold plasma to inactivate bacteria, heal wounds and necrosis of cancer/cancer cells. Firstly, the physical principle of plasma source produced by equipment used in plasma medicine is briefly introduced. Then, their biomedical applications and future prospects are introduced.
