Cold atmospheric plasma-activated saline alleviates secondary injury post-SCI by inhibiting extracellular matrix remodeling and infiltration of proinflammatory macrophages

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been shown to improve the recovery of transected peripheral nerves. We determined the protective role of CAP-activated saline (CAP-AS) treatment in the acute and subacute stages of spinal cord injury (SCI) in mice.
