Open-Air Cold Plasma Device Leads to Selective Tumor Cell Cytotoxicity
Almeida-Ferreira, Catarina; Silva-Teixeira, Rafael; Laranjo, Mafalda; Almeida, Nuno; Brites, Gonçalo; Dias-Ferreira, João; Marques, Inês A.; Neves, RitaThe need for effective and safe therapies for cancer is growing as aging is modifying its epidemiology.
