Cover Story: Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) used in plasma medicine have shown great potential in various aspects including wound healing, dermatology, cancer therapy, etc. In this study, the ratio of the discharge energy to the number of the treated in vitro kidney cells (mJ/cell) was employed as the unit of the plasma dosage. This biology-based method has the advantages of easy operation, independence of specific CAP sources, and also independence of complex interactions between CAPs and the treated biological targets, and consequently, may provide a new direction to quantitatively define the plasma dosage in various plasma medical applications. View this paper
