A method for bioengineering exosomes for cancer treatment. The method comprises the steps of isolating target tumor cells from a tissue sample, culturing the isolated target tumor cells, treating the cultured target tumor cells with cold atmospheric plasma to release exosomes from the target tumor cells, and collecting the released exosomes. The step of culturing the target tumor cells may comprise seeding the isolated target tumor cells in wells and incubating the target tumor cells in a culture media, for example, for 24 hours. The culture media may comprise Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, an antibiotic and 10% fetal bovine serum. The step of culturing the target tumor cells may further comprise replacing the culture media with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium and an antibiotic. The target tumor cells may comprise, for example, one of U87 cells, KKU-055 cells and triple negative MDA-MB-231 cells.

Method for cold atmospheric plasma exosome therapy

A method for a method for treatment of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) with cold atmospheric plasma and Folfirinox. The method includes treating a patient having CCA with a low dosage FOLFIRINOX regimen, for example, 6.73 nM, giving the patient the low-dosage FOLFIRINOX regimen pre-operatively, surgically removing the cancerous tumor from the patient, continuing the low-dosage FOLFIRINOX treatment regimen intra-operatively, applying cold atmospheric plasma to the surgical margins surrounding the area in the patient from which the tumor was removed, and continuing the FOLFIRINOX post-operatively.

Method for treatment of cholangiocarcinoma with cold atmospheric plasma and folfirinox

A method for applying cold atmospheric plasma treatment to target tissue comprising the steps of treating a patient with a pharmaceutical for suppressing apolipoprotein E genes, selecting through a graphical user interface a particular soft tissue sarcoma cell line associated with target tissue, retrieving, with the computing device, settings data associated with the selected soft tissue sarcoma cell line from a database of cell line data and associated settings data in a storage, and applying, with the computing device, the retrieved settings data to a cold atmospheric plasma system.

System and method for suppressing apoe gene for sarcoma treatment

A method for inducing cell death in breast cancer regardless of subtyping through histone mRNA oxidation and degradation during the early S-phase of the cell cycle. A method for monitoring levels of oxidized histone mRNA in breast cancer cells, comprising the steps of isolating histone mRNA from breast cancer cells, incubating the histone mRNA with a peptide according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and determining the levels of oxidized histone mRNA by measuring the fluorescence intensity.

Method for cold plasma induced cell death in breast cancer cells by 8-oxoG modification and degradation of histone mRNA

A method for applying cold atmospheric plasma treatment to target tissue comprising the steps of selecting through a graphical user interface a particular soft tissue sarcoma cell line associated with target tissue, retrieving, with said computing device, settings data associated with said selected soft tissue sarcoma cell line from a database of cell line data and associated settings data in a storage, and applying, with said computing device, said retrieved settings data to a cold atmospheric plasma system.

System and method for combination of cold atmospheric plasma treatment with radiation and chemotherapy

A method for performing cold atmospheric plasma therapy to treat breast cancer. The cancerous tumor is sampled and cold atmospheric plasma treatment is performed on sampled cancerous tumor cells ex vivo. The results of the testing are stored in an electronic storage media. A cell viability reduction rate of said tested samples is calculated with a processor and stored in memory. An average cell viability reduction rate is then calculated by the processor for the cancerous tumor. Cold atmospheric plasma dosages to be used in treatment of the cancerous tumor in vivo are then projected using the processor. The tumor is surgically removed from the patient. The surgical margins of the tumor are then treated with cold atmospheric plasma at the projected dosages.
