Molecular hydrogen as medicine: An assessment of administration methods (2021)
Journal Article
Russell, G., Nenov, A., Kisher, H., & Hancock, J. T. (2021). Molecular hydrogen as medicine: An assessment of administration methods. Hydrogen, 2(4), 444-460. https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrogen2040025

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
Hancock, J. T., LeBaron, T. W., May, J., Thomas, A., & Russell, G. (2021). Molecular hydrogen: Is this a viable new treatment for plants in the UK?. Plants, 10(11), Article 2270

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
Zulfiqar, F., Russell, G., & Hancock, J. T. (2021). Molecular hydrogen in agriculture. Planta, 254(3), Article 56. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-021-03706-0

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.

Molecular hydrogen: Redox reactions and possible biological interactions (2021)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., LeBaron, T. W., & Russell, G. (2021). Molecular hydrogen: Redox reactions and possible biological interactions. Reactive Oxygen Species, 11, m17–m25. https://doi.org/10.20455/ros.2021.m.803

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
Russell, G., Nenov, A., & Hancock, J. (2021). Oxy-hydrogen gas: The rationale behind its use as a novel and sustainable treatment for COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases. European Medical Journal, May 2021, https://doi.org/10.33590/emj/21-00027

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...

Downstream signalling from molecular hydrogen (2021)
Journal Article
Hancock, J., & Russell, G. (2021). Downstream signalling from molecular hydrogen. Plants, 10(2), Article 367. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants10020367

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.
