Direct Low Cost Production of Graphene Platelets
In the last ten years graphene has exploded on the scientific scene with its myriad of novel and exciting properties. Graphene has, to name a few of these properties, very high electrical conductivity, superior strength (fifty times stronger than steel), chemical stability, extremely high surface area, and very high thermal conductivity. Structurally...

Method to generate cold atmospheric plasma-stimulated media to treat cancer
For successful cancer therapy, the most important aspect is selective eradication of cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer cells and normal cells have different thresholds for tolerance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) before cell death (apoptosis) is induced. Previously, GW researchers invented a cold...

Magnetically Enhanced Plasma Treatment of Cancer
­Previously, GW researchers invented a method to selectively kill cancer cells with cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), while leaving neighboring normal cells unaffected. In the present invention, the researchers devised an enhanced method for CAP cancer therapy by concurrently exposing the cancer cells to a static magnetic field (Fig. 1). The researchers...

Optimization of Cold Atmospheric Plasma-Stimulated Media for Treatment of Cancer
Previously, GW researchers invented a method to selectively kill cancer cells with cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) while leaving neighboring normal cells intact. In a subsequent study, the researchers showed that similar anti-cancer effects can be achieved indirectly using CAP-stimulated media (CAPSM). Stability of CAPSM (preservation of its anti-cancer...

Non-Invasive Plasma Discharge Tube Device for Treating Brain Tumors
Treating brain tumors, like glioblastoma, is challenging. Current glioblastoma drugs, Rapamycin and Temozolomide (TMZ), generally only extend life for a matter of months, are not very effective in treating recurring tumors, and have significant clinical toxicity. A novel Plasma Discharge Tube (PDT) device has the potential to be more effective and less...
