Plasma medicine is a multidisciplinary field of science that uses cold atmospheric pressure plasmas for biomedical purposes. Several applications have been proposed in the last years, including disinfection of bacteria and fungi, wound healing, dermatological diseases and selective killing of cancer cells. Several plasma production schemes and plasma source designs have been proposed, most of which have obtained interesting therapeutic effects on biological samples. However, an overall understanding of the mechanisms that induce such benefices is still missing. Such an understanding is not trivial, considering the multiplicity of possible interactions between complex systems, such as cold plasmas and biological tissues.
