Cold plasma devices are increasingly used across surgical procedures, including skin rejuvenation, scar remodeling, liposuction and diabetic wounds. A recent study from Thomas Jefferson University ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

Researchers have been focusing on non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma as a treatment method that can shorten recovery times, such as for tendon repair. Using a helium plasma jet, they demonstrated ...

Severe vitamin E deficiency results in lethal myopathy in animal models. Membrane repair is an important myocyte response to plasma membrane disruption injury as when repair fails, myocytes die and ...

Protein-mediated cell membrane repair protects cancer-derived cells against T cell attack, researchers report. The findings reveal new insights into how tumor cells escape death, which could be ...
