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. This review highlights the role of molecular hydrogen (H2) and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) as adjunct therapi

A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with postoperative breast cancer recurrence. While inhaling hydrogen gas through a nasal cannula at home, she used a heat-therapy machine that emitted electromagnetic waves to the breast cancer site. She suddenly experienced explosive sounds in her chest and smelled burning. Subsequently, she experienced several overlapping hemoptysis episodes and was referred to

Molecular hydrogen has gained attention for its potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and ergogenic effects. However, its impact on blood oxygen saturation and autonomic cardiac regulation under resting conditions remains unclear. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study investigated the effects of a 60-minute molecular hydrogen inhalation on oxygen saturation and hear

Hydrogen, as an antioxidant, may have the potential to mitigate fatigue and improve selected oxidative stress markers induced by strenuous exercise. This study focused on a previously unexplored approach involving pre-exercise inhalation of hydrogen-rich gas (HRG). Twenty-four healthy adult men first completed pre-laboratories to determine maximum cycling power (Wmax) and maximum cycling time (Tma

Background: Inhalation of hydrogen gas (H2) as an antioxidant supplement may alleviate exercise-induced oxidative damage and protect post-exercise hydrogen peroxide signaling, which may help mediate beneficial exercise adaptation. The aims of this study were to determine the effects of H2 inhalation on plasma nitric oxide (NO) level and its synthesis precursor in professional athletes.

Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality associated with various clinical conditions, including acute coronary syndrome, stroke, and organ transplantation. During ischemia, a profound hypoxic insult develops, resulting in cellular dysfunction and tissue damage. Paradoxically, reperfusion can exacerbate this injury through the generation of r

Objective: Exercise-induced oxidative stress affects multiple neurophysiological processes, diminishing the exercise performance. Hydrogen (H2) can selectively reduce excessive free radicals, but studies observed its “dual effects” on exercise-induced oxidative stress, that is, increasing or decreasing the oxidative stress. Therefore, we here conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quan

Airway inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, are a global public health concern owing to their chronic inflammatory effects on the respiratory mucosa. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has recently been recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we examined the therapeutic potential of H2 in airway inflammation using an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced BALB/c mouse model of alle

Background: Approximately 40 to 60% of patients with sepsis develop sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC), which is associated with a substantial increase in mortality. We have found that molecular hydrogen (H2) inhalation improved the survival rate and cardiac injury in septic mice. However, the mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism by which hydrogen modula
