Molecular hydrogen as medicine: An assessment of administration methods (2021)
Journal Article

Since the late 18th century, molecular hydrogen (H2) has been shown to be well tolerated, firstly in animals, and then in humans. However, although research into the beneficial effects of molecular hydrogen in both plant and mammalian physiology is g...

Molecular hydrogen: Is this a viable new treatment for plants in the UK? (2021)
Journal Article

Despite being trialed in other regions of the world, the use of molecular hydrogen (H2) for enhanced plant growth and postharvest storage of crops has yet to be widely accepted in the UK. The evidence continues to grow that treatment of plants and pl... Read More about Molecular hydrogen: Is this a viable new treatment for plants in the UK?.

Molecular hydrogen in agriculture (2021)
Journal Article

Main conclusion: H2 gas, usually in the form of H2-saturated water, could play a useful role in improving many aspects of plant growth and productivity, including resistance to stress tolerance and improved post-harvest durability. Therefore, molecul... Read More about Molecular hydrogen in agriculture.

Oxygen is instrumental for biological signalling: An overview (2021)
Journal Article

Control of cellular function is extremely complex, being reliant on a wide range of components. Several of these are small oxygen-based molecules. Although reactive compounds containing oxygen are usually harmful to cells when accumulated to relative... Read More about Oxygen is instrumental for biological signalling: An overview.

Journal Article

Molecular hydrogen: Redox reactions and possible biological interactions (2021)
Journal Article

Molecular hydrogen (H2), either as a gas or as hydrogen-rich water (HRW), is suggested to be a useful treatment for a range of human diseases and also to improve agricultural output. It is often posited that H2 accomplishes its biological action, in... Read More about Molecular hydrogen: Redox reactions and possible biological interactions.

Oxy-hydrogen gas: The rationale behind its use as a novel and sustainable treatment for COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases (2021)
Journal Article

Oxy-hydrogen gas (HHO) is a gaseous mixture of molecular hydrogen (H2) and molecular oxygen (O2) that is generated by the electrolysis of water and delivered in a 2:1 ratio (66% and 33%, respectively) through the use of non-invasive inhalation device...

Interacting proteins, polymorphisms and the susceptibility of animals to SARS-CoV-2 (2021)
Journal Article

Abstract: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a world-wide problem for the human population. It is known that some animal species, such as mink, can become infected and transmit the virus. However, the susceptibility of most animals is not known. Here... Read More about Interacting proteins, polymorphisms and the susceptibility of animals to SARS-CoV-2.

Leaf arginine spraying improves leaf gas exchange under water deficit and root antioxidant responses during the recovery period (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS Arginine (Arg) metabolism is associated with many cellular and developmental processes in plants and proline, nitric oxide (NO) and polyamines (PAs) have a wide range of physiological functions in plants, including increase...

Downstream signalling from molecular hydrogen (2021)
Journal Article

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is now considered to be a part of the suite of small molecules which can control cellular activity. As such it has been suggested to be used in the therapy of diseases in humans but also to be used in plant science, to enhance... Read More about Downstream signalling from molecular hydrogen.
