Abstract:
Plasma medicine has developed into an innovative field of research showing high potential. Since the establishment of cold atmospheric plasma, new, multifaceted medical treatment opportunities have become available. Within a short time a multidisciplinary special interest group of medical scientists, physicists, and biologists was created, aiming to understand plasma medicine and answer clinical as well as scientific questions. In dermatology, new horizons are being opened for wound healing, tissue regeneration, treatment of skin infections, and tumor therapy. A major task will be the introduction of plasma into clinical medicine and, simultaneously, the further investigation of the mechanisms of action of plasma at the cellular level. Only then can the safety of plasma treatment in patients be assured.
