Skeletal cell differentiation is enhanced by atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatment.

Enhancing chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation is of paramount importance in providing effective regenerative therapies and improving the rate of fracture healing. This study investigated the potential of non-thermal atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge plasma (NT-plasma) to enhance chond...
