H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. This review systematically summarizes the mechanisms of action of such materials, covering hydrogen evolution mechanisms such as semiconductor catalysis and coordination of chemistry-driven processes, and explores their biomedical applications in cancer therapy, the treatment of inflammatory diseases, organelle and neurovascular protection, antimicrobial therapy, and imaging-guided synergistic treatment. Nanotechnology offers a solution with externally stimulated responsive nanomaterials capable of controlled hydrogen production under stimuli such as light, ultrasound, magnetic fields, and microenvironments, overcoming traditional delivery limitations. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.
