In the 116th Shattuck Lecture, Nobel laureate Ferid Murad explains how nitric oxide was discovered to be a biologically important molecule and outlines its multiple roles. Dr. Murad reports having ...

It's involved in vasodilation, neurotransmission, immune response, and the regulation of cell death (apoptosis). Discovery and Nobel Prize: Nitric oxide's role as a signaling molecule was ...

Holoshitz and his colleagues discovered that the shared epitope can trigger a signaling cascade that leads to increased production of nitric oxide in other cells. A gas produced by several types ...

The new study shows nitric oxide helps determine that the right pathway gets activated. Previous studies have shown evidence of "biased" signaling inside cells, where one pathway becomes more ...

Panelists discuss how the pathophysiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension involves complex mechanisms across multiple ...

“Nitric oxide operates in every cell and tissue of the body ... “This new class of enzymes is present in every living cell, and it governs metabolic signaling molecules and regulates cellular ...

the research team detected elevated nitric oxide levels. NO is a multifunctional signaling molecule and neurotransmitter that regulates cell survival, differentiation and proliferation of neurons ...

Nitric oxide (NO) exists naturally as a colorless gas. NO is a signaling molecule in humans ... NO can diffuse freely through the plasma membrane of cells which allows it to signal extremely ...

This is because nitric oxide also regulates insulin, which helps cells utilize the energy obtained from food after it’s digested. Without nitric oxide, insulin cannot work properly. One study ...
