Redox Biology in Plasma Medicine, 1st Edition, is a book that examines the fundamental connections between physical plasma technology and biological redox processes. It reviews the operation of non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasmas and explains how these systems generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.
The volume addresses interactions between plasma-generated species and biological targets, including lipids, cellular membranes, and mammalian cells. It also discusses the consequences of plasma exposure for cell-biological functions, detailing how therapeutic plasmas inactivate pathogens, facilitate tissue regeneration, and target cancer cells.
By presenting cold atmospheric-pressure plasma as a controllable source of redox-active species, the text serves as a dedicated resource for experimental research in redox biology. It outlines principles supporting the development of targeted therapies across regenerative medicine and oncology.
