Reactive oxygen species from non-thermal gas plasma (CAP): implication for targeting cancer stem cells

Abstract Cancer remains a major global health challenge, with the persistence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) contributing to treatment resistance and relapse. Despite advancements in cancer therapy, targeting CSCs presents a significant hurdle. Non-thermal gas plasma, also known as CAP, represents an i...
