Movement behavior

Cold atmospheric plasma improves movement behavior in worms (+26.01% to +37.31% head thrashes, +33.37% to +34.51% body bends).
“frequencies of head thrashes with an increase of 26.01% and 37.31% and those of body bends with an increase of 33.37% and 34.51% on the fourth and eighth day, respectively, indicated movement behavior was improved”

Lifespan
upin worms1
Cold atmospheric plasma extends lifespan in worms (13.67 ± 0.50 vs 10.37 ± 0.46 days).
“The longest lifespan (13.67 ± 0.50 for 30 days) was obviously longer than the control (10.37 ± 0.46 for 23 days).”
