Breathing New Life into Transplantation: How Hydrogen Gas Can Help Donor Lungs

A study from South Korea found that hydrogen gas inhalation can improve the quality of donor lungs for transplantation, reducing inflammation and improving lung function. This breakthrough could increase the number of available lungs for transplantation and lead to new treatments for other lung conditions. The research has promising implications for people waiting for a lung transplant.
