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

The mechanisms underlying the biomedical effects of molecular hydrogen (H2) remain poorly understood and
are often attributed to its selective reduction of hydroxyl radicals, based on the long-held notion that H2 is
biologically inert. We demonstrate that H2 is biologically active, specifically targeting the Rieske iron-sulfur
protein (RISP). We first observed that H2 induces the mitochondrial unf

Mitochondria originated from aerobic bacteria in endosymbiosis. Through this symbiosis, eukaryotes acquired an efficient energy-producing system, but at the cost of exposure to oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Molecular hydrogen (H2) was recently identified as an antioxidant that selectively reduces ROS, such as hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite, which are strong oxidants, and

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.

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. B-cells are a keystone of the adaptive immune response and are essential for the presentation of tumor-associated antigens to various types of T-cells. Approximately 1.5% of global cancer cases, including breast and gastric carcinomas and both Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, are linked with prior Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) infection. Such prop

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
