Abstract

It has been shown that low-temperature non-equilibrium piezoelectric direct discharge plasma exerts a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on a HeLa cell culture. Doxorubicin, an antitumor antibiotic, potentiates this effect of cold plasma, while dihydroquercetin, as an antioxidant, attenuates it.
