H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In Primary neurons from e18 rat cortices were dissociated via trituration and were plated at 30,000 cells/well, pEDOT/GO samples resulted in a 67% decrease in average daily hydrogen production, indicating that the coating is preventing corrosion or bypassing the water reduction reaction by PEDOT/GO reduction. The authors concluded that these results suggest that PEDOT/GO coating will be an effective treatment for controlling corrosion of Mg based medical implants. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
