Numerical investigation of the electric field produced by the interaction of helium plasma jet with normal and cancerous cells Poster

Plasma interacts with tissue via the builtup of an electric field and the introduction of reactive oxygen species(ROS).The increase of the electric field in the intracellular region highly affects thecell’spermeability through the increase of the trans membranevoltage(MV). Here a two dimensional axi-symmetric plasma fluid model in direct contact with normal and cancerous skin is used to compare the MV of normal and cancerous cells. This comparison might shed light in the differences in behaviour of cancerous versus normal cells under plasma energy recorded in recent research literature.
