Nitric Oxide has become one  of the world’s most researched molecules ever since three scientists won the Nobel Prize in  1998 for discovering Nitric Oxide’s role in cell signaling, which is a “complex system of communication that governs basic cellular activities and coordinates cell actions.” It is also an extremely studied medical topic. This “miracle molecule” as it is often called, came from a very meek beginning as a toxic gas and air pollutant.
