How is it delivered into the wound?

Fascinating insight into the antimicrobial properties of nitric oxide (NO)! The mechanism of inactivating iron-sulfur clusters, such as the [2Fe-2S] cluster, highlights its critical role in disrupting microbial metabolism and respiration. This synergistic approach could have significant implications for wound care and infection management. Thanks for sharing the detailed resource.
