氢是宇宙中最原始的元素，也是生命体中最主要的元素，对生命体有广泛的积极影响，包括生理调节、选择性氧化等.目前，氢已经初步应用于医学和农学，并由此诞生“氢气生物学”的概念.探究氢在生命体内的作用机理，准确认识氢在生命活动中扮演的角色将为众多生命难题提供新的解决思路.
As the earliest element in the universe and the most abundant one in living organisms, hydrogen shows a wide range of positive impact on biological systems, including physiology regulation, selective anti-oxidation, etc. At present, hydrogen has gradually found applications in medical science and agriculture, which leads to the establishment of “hydrogen biology”. Exploring the mechanism of how hydrogen operates in living organisms and accurately understanding its role in life will provide an alternative and promising approach to overcoming many critical challenges faced by the living systems.
