The production of biofuels by bacterial fermentation receives sustained attention due to the need to develop novel circular and sustainable technologies. Clostridium beijerinckii produces both hydrogen (H2) and carbon-based biofuels acetone, butanol and ethanol (ABE solvents). H2 metabolism in C. beijerinckii is complex and mostly unexplored. Seven hydrogenase genes are contained in the genome, bu

The delivery of molecular hydrogen (H2) is increasingly recognized for its potential in precision immunomodulation, primarily through multiple pathways such as antioxidant action, modulation of inflammatory factors, and inhibition of apoptosis. These effects contribute to a balanced and functional immune system, highlighting the therapeutic promise of H2 in various inflammatory conditions. However, t

Heart failure (HF) is increasing in prevalence in many countries around the world. HF is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the heart’s inability to pump blood effectively, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. After an initial cardiac event (e.g., myocardial infarction, valve dysfunction, hypertension, etc.), adaptive mechanisms are activated to preserve cardiac function. Su

(1) Background: Water, comprising about 70–80% of cellular mass, is the most abundant constituent of living cells. Upon exposure to ionizing radiation, water undergoes radiolysis, generating a variety of reactive species, including free radicals and molecular products. Among these, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are particularly damaging due to their very high reactivity and their capacity to induce oxid

In regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown their importance and potential in tissue reconstruction and immune system modification. However, such cells’ potential is often diminished by factors such as oxidative stress, immune rejection, and inadequate engraftment.

Diabetes is coupled with hyperglycemia, a state in which elevated glucose levels trigger oxidative stress (OS) in various body functions. One of the organs most afflicted by diabetes is the kidney. Despite this, specific treatments to mitigate the harmful effects of hyperglycemia-induced OS in the kidney have not been extensively explored.

Molecular hydrogen has been shown to exert beneficial effects on plant growth and abiotic stress tolerance, however, the exact mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. H2 is able to diffuse directly across the plasma membrane, which is the first barrier between H2 and cells. It is possible that H2 may exert its biological effects on plant cells by interacting with PM. Hydrogenases can catalyze

Generation of free radicals through incomplete reduction of oxygen during ischemia/ reperfusion is well-described. On the other hand, molecular hydrogen (H2) reduces oxidative stress due to its ability to react with strong oxidants and easily penetrate cells by diffusion, without disturbing metabolic redox reactions.
