Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) have collaborated with partners at Greifswald University Hospital and University Medical Center Rostock to demonstrate that cold plasma can effectively combat tumor cells even in deeper tissue layers.

What is particularly noteworthy is that, by developing new tissue models, they were able to precisely investigate the effect of individual plasma components on tumor cells for the first time. The research is published in the journal Trends in Biotechnology.
