Intracellular-molecular changes in plasma-irradiated budding yeast cells studied using multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy
Abstract
Interactions between non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasma (NEAPP) and living cells were examined using multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. Our multiplex CARS analyses revealed that NEAPP irradiation generates short-lived radicals that induce a decrease in the mitochondrial activity of budding yeast cells.
