Targeted Nitric Oxide delivery to be discussed

Dr Claire Morgan — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 09:00:00 +0000

The agenda for EuroSciCon's ‘From Menace to Marvel: Nitric Oxide in Health and Disease’ meeting on March 20th 2009 has been finalised. Professor Ian Megson (UHi Millenium Institute, Inverness, UK), who will be speaking at this event has a few words: ‘Since its discovery in the 1980s, nitric oxide (NO) has been heralded as a major breakthrough in disease prevention and management. However, the promise and expectations have not yet been delivered with respect to new NO donor drugs on the market and we are still heavily reliant on drugs that have been in use for decades. One possible reason for the lack of development in this area is the lack of specificity of many NO donor drugs and their global impact, as opposed to local activity.’ His talk will explore some possible solutions to tackle targeted NO delivery for use in a number of cardiovascular conditions.

What has this world come to when a child that defends himself against a bully ends up with the same punishment? Or a child who breaks-up a school fight ends up with suspension for physically pulling two kids apart and not running for a teacher? Children today have much to fear when they can’t even defend themselves from assault, fear punishment for doing the right thing, or worse—get beaten as innocent bystanders do nothing at all.
