Yue Yuan, Zishuo Hou, Miaomiao Chen, Jingwei Yu, Minghao Zhou, Jiaxin Kang, et al.

The weaker soft tissue integration around implants compared to natural teeth poses a substantial challenge to the long-term success of implants. To enhance soft tissue integration, we develop an on-demand and long-lasting H2-releasing implant to achieve precise sequential regulation of the soft tissue integration through immunomodulation and pro-remodeling coupling. In the inflammatory phase, the

Molecular hydrogen as a potential mediator of the antitumor effect of inulin consumption

MHID-4439338PMID: 401810802025Scientific Reports

Victor Pascal-Moussellard, Jean-Pierre Alcaraz, Stéphane Tanguy, Cordélia Salomez-Ihl, Philippe Cinquin, François Boucher, et al.

Inulin consumption and dihydrogen (H2) administration both exert antitumor effects on preclinical models as well as in clinical trials. As H2 is one of the major byproducts of inulin fermentation by bacterial species of the gut microbiota (GM), we hypothesized that H2 could mediate the antitumor effects of inulin. To provide evidence in favor of this hypothesis, we first determined the pattern of
