Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nitric oxide (NO) is a major signalling molecule in neural, circulatory and immune systems. The biological effects of NO have been shown to be highly site, concentration and dosage dependent. This project aims to develop a system which enables controlled release of NO by an external magnetic field, to which tissues are almost transparent.
