Cold plasmas – electrical gas discharges – are successfully used for chronic wound healing.
Similar mechanisms play a role in tumor treatment by plasma and reduced tumor growth and reduced metastasis formation is observed in many studies in several research groups. Research is still required to identify the underlying mechanisms.
Our ongoing New Frontiers in Research Fund project allows us to pursue research on plasma oncology with the team of #Stephan Reuter, #Derek Rosenzweig, and #Dao Nguyen of #Polytechnique Montreal and #McGill respectively. Funding by #NFRF and #Transmedtech
