Hydrogen released from Mg wires inhibits tumor growth in vivo. (a) The anti-tumor evaluation of the H2 therapies through Mg degradation on tumor-bearing mice. (b) Micro-CT images of Mg wires after 0 d, 8 d, 16 d, and 24 d implantation in tumor tissue; (c) Evolution of hydrogen released and wire volumes in tumor-bearing mice after 8 d, 16 d and 24 d implantation. (d) Growth curve of tumor volume after different treatments. (e) The HCT116 tumor weight and the corresponding representative pictures of tumors at the end of the experiment. (f) Bodyweight change after different treatments.
