Penetration of direct non-thermal plasma treatment into living cells

Abstract
Here the possibility that effects of the plasma treatment can penetrate though cellular membranes without destroying them is studied. DNA double stranded breaks (DSB's) in human fibroblast cells were detected to assess effects of plasma treatment. Hydrogen peroxide treatment was used as a positive control as it is comparable to ionizing radiation. The results indicate that short direct plasma treatment at low power does produce DNA DSB's at the levels comparable to the positive control without permanent membrane damage.
