  • Abstract
    Applications of atmospheric pressure cold plasma have been extended to various cancers therapy due to plasma-produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) inducing oxidative stress in cancer cell and consequently resulting in cell apoptosis. However, the mechanism of apoptosis caused by plasma is complicated. Actually, besides various kinds of intracellular ROS, calcium (Ca2t) also plays a critical role in apoptosis process.
