Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) recently published in the journal Nature Communications about a study that aids in the revival of cells and tissues that have ceased regenerating due to the process of aging.
The research team claims to have moved closer to the future of reversing human aging thanks to a new hydrogen therapy, as reported by the South China Morning Post on December 13.

Specifically, the scientists have developed a system of hydrogen implant devices using nanotechnology. This system could comprehensively revive some aged cells and tissues in the human body.
In an interview with SCMP, Mr. Xia Qianjun – the lead researcher – stated that the initial goal of the system was to “repair bone defects in the elderly.”
However, they are aiming to develop the system into a universal technology to combat all aging-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
The Shanghai Jiao Tong University research team continues to accelerate the delivery of hydrogen and optimize the recovery capability of the implant system.
According to the scientists, human aging arises from the condition of cells and tissues in the body losing their regenerative abilities over time. Hydrogen acts as an anti-inflammatory agent that can prolong “cell longevity.”
Since discovering the miraculous effects of hydrogen, many methods have been developed to supply hydrogen to the body. However, the duration and amount of hydrogen provided have been major limitations of these studies.
The researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University indicate they have addressed the shortcomings of previous studies. Their implant system can supply hydrogen steadily and gradually over weeks, with a hydrogen output 40,000 times greater than existing studies.
