Outline of Final Research Achievements

To realize novel processing plasmas for enhancing cell activity, we have developed a combinatorial analysis of cell activity using a scalable dielectric barrier discharge device. Using the devise, we have obtain following results. (1) We have confirmed the developed analysis can be employed to study plasma processes for bio applications. (2) Oxidative stress response due to plasma irradiation is one of the most important factor for the cell activation. (3) We have evaluated multi-generation effects of plasma growth enhancement to plants. The result suggests that the effects can accumulate or reset through generation, leading to plasma process for enhancing cell activity.
