Retraction to: Annals of Biomedical Engineering (2011) 39(2): 674–687 DOI 10.1007/s10439-010-0197-x

The Editors of the Annals of Biomedical Engineering are officially retracting the published article entitled, “Non-thermal Plasma Induces Apoptosis in Melanoma Cells via Production of Intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species” by Sensenig, et al., Annals of Biomedical Engineering (2011) 39: 674–687; DOI: 10.1007/s10439-010-0197-x .

This article is being retracted due to the discovery of identical data in the following publication: “Floating Electrode Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma in Air Promoting Apoptotic Behavior in Melanoma Skin Cancer Cell Lines” by Fridman et al. (Plasma Chem Plasma Process (2007) 27:163–176; DOI: 10.1007/s11090-007-9048-4)
