A van der Waals force-based adhesion study of stem cells exposed to cold atmospheric plasma jets.

ABSTRACT: Cold atmospheric plasma has established its effect on cell adhesion. Given the importance of cell adhesion in stem cells, the current study investigates the effect of plasma treatment on Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HBMMSCs) adhesion by which the differentiation and fate of cells are determined. In this paper, adhesion modification is considered not only for cell- ECM (Extra cellular Matrix), but also between suspended cells, and enhanced adhesions were found in both circumstances. Regarding the previous works, the increase of the cell-ECM adhesion during the plasma therapy was mostly attributed to the enhancement of the production and activity of integrin proteins. Nevertheless, considering the importance of van der Waals forces at the cellular level, the effect of cold plasm
