What the Review Examined
The review examined hydrogen in Transplantation: Potential Applications and Therapeutic Implications.
Main Findings Across the Literature
Hydrogen gas, renowned for its antioxidant properties, has emerged as a novel therapeutic agent with applications across various medical domains, positioning it as a potential adjunct therapy in transplantation. Beyond its antioxidative properties, hydrogen also exerts anti-inflammatory effects by modulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and signaling pathways. Hydrogen's capacity to activate cytoprotective pathways bolsters cellular resilience against stressors. This comprehensive review explores the potential applications and therapeutic implications of hydrogen in transplantation, shedding light on its role in mitigating IRI, improving graft survival, and modulating immune responses.
