Effect of Non-Thermal Plasma on Proliferative Activity and Adhesion of Multipotent Stromal Cells to Scaffolds Developed for Tissue-Engineered Constructs.

We studied the effect of non-thermal argon plasma on proliferative activity of bone marrow multipotent stromal cells in vitro. Treatment of stromal cell suspension with pure argon did not affect their proliferation. The cells treated with non-thermal argon plasma and explanted in the treatment medium demonstrated growth inhibition by 30-40% in comparison with the control.
