We present here the results of studies of the effect of low-temperature plasma on the proliferative activity of cells and the repair functions of the biological tissues in animals and plants. The influences of low-temperature plasma on the viability and proliferative activity of human stem cells are considered. Human stem cells can undergo apoptosis or proliferate, depending on the location of the zone of action and the observation time. Treatment of plants with the low-temperature plasma-activated drug Plazmolit, using dilutions giving a high concentration, was found to suppress growth and development, while low concentrations activated growth. These study results led to the conclusion that there is a single mechanism for the processes whereby low-temperature plasma affects the proliferative activity of cells and the repair functions of biological tissues in animals and plants.
