Helium Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Effects on Two Cultivars of L.

The use of cold plasma in the treatment of seeds before sowing presents a promising technique for sustainable agriculture. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of cold plasma treatment on the morphology of wheat seeds ( L. 'Dacic' and 'Otilia'), their germination, biochemical composition, and the nutritional quality of wheat grass.

Proton irradiation induced reactive oxygen species promote morphological and functional changes in HepG2 cells.

The increased use of proton therapy has led to the need of better understanding the cellular mechanisms involved. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects induced by the accelerated proton beam in hepatocarcinoma cells. An existing facility in IFIN-HH, a 3 MV Tandetron™ accelerator, was used to irradiate HepG2 human hepatocarcinoma cells with doses between 0 and 3 Gy.
