In recent years, a large number of studies of non-thermal plasma (NTP) have progressed to a level that makes it feasible to specifically design, manufacture, and characterize NTP suitable for clinical applications. Such a burst of research activities on NTP demonstrated a fast evolution and a great potential of this new interdisciplinary field. It is worth noting here, that despite years of extensive research, the mechanisms of non-thermal plasma-induced biological effects are still not fully understood. Indeed, NTP cellular targets as well as the molecular or biophysical fundamentals of its alleged biological effects remain generally unknown. It is widely accepted that plasma-generated reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) can indirectly modulate the cells.
