Front Cover: Complex nature of cancer makes it difficult to develop effective therapies (e.g. chemotherapy, radiotherapy and nanotherapy). The review discusses the achievements, challenges, and future directions in using the cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) to treat human cancers, and provide new venues to understand the mechanisms underlying the effect of CAP on cancer cells given that no resistance towards CAP has been reported. Further details can be found in the article by Edward A. Ratovitski et. al. on page 1128 .
