With the unique chemical and physical properties of cold atmospheric plasmas enabling its recent applications in biomedicine, plasma medicine has established itself as a new scientific field, combining plasma physics, engineering, medicine, and bioengineering. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of the non-thermal plasmas and plasma devices used in plasma medicine. Several chapters are devoted to the analysis of the mechanisms of plasma interaction with cancer and normal cells, including a description of the mechanism of plasma selectivity. As a revised and significantly expanded second edition, this text includes a detailed description of non-invasive modality, new in vivo work and adaptive plasma written by experts in these areas. This reference text also provides an up-to-date description of the field, the primary challenges and future directions.
