Abstract
In the past ten years several research fields have converged to show that the tiny molecule nitric oxide (NO), a reactive gas, functions both as a signalling molecule in endothelial and nerve cells and as a killer molecule by activated immune cells--and it can be used as a new medicine by inhalation. This article reviews the biology of this remarkable molecule and discusses the implications for clinical medicine.Entities:
