H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In This reaction disrupts mitochondrial function in cancer cells, reduces oxygen consumption, alleviates tumor hypoxia, and consequently counteracts chemoresistance, simultaneously, EPI induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) in moribund tumor cells, activating the host's antitumor immune response. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
