Abstract :
Application of dielectric barrier discharges for wound and disease therapies-plasma medicine-is one of the fastest-growing fields in non-thermal, low temperature plasma research. It remains unclear of how particles and fields produced by the plasma source induce changes internally within the cell. This effort aims to elucidate the effect of an atmospheric pressure plasma on internal properties of the cell. This effort presents plasma source conditions incident on the cell and the internal chemical changes in cell response.
