Although a simple molecule, nitric oxide is an important signal substance that helps to reduce blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. But how it goes about doing this has long been unclear.

In a recently published review article in Cell, researchers Jon Lundberg and Eddie Weitzberg at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Karolinska Institutet summarize research in nitric ...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous messenger that orchestrates vascular tone, blood flow and endothelial homeostasis. Synthesised predominantly by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in response to ...

In the 25 years since the Nobel Prize was awarded for discovering the role that nitric oxide (NO) plays in the cardiovascular system, researchers have been racing to learn more about how this ...

Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular "gate" that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide, a crucial signaling molecule throughout biology that in humans helps regulate ...

Researchers are shifting focus from large arteries to microvessels, where nitric oxide activity may signal early circulatory changes before symptoms appear. Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule ...

Explore the research on BPC-157 and its potential role in tissue repair and recovery pathways, while examining preclinical ...

Nitric oxide (NO) functions as a versatile signal in bacterial communities, governing the transition between planktonic growth and biofilm formation, stabilising mature biofilms and triggering ...

The most common heart medications may get an assist from nitric oxide circulating in the body, according to a new study out of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Researchers showed ...
