摘要
Low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasmas (LTAPPs) have garnered great scientific interest in recent years because of their chemically reactive properties. The LTAPP is currently being studied for potential applications in the field of plasma medicine including, but not limited to, wound healing and cancer therapy. In this paper, images of fibroblast cells exposed to different treatment times of LTAPP are presented. The results reveal the morphological cell changes associated with LTAPP treatment and indicate the potential use of LTAPP to alter physical attributes of mammalian cells.
