GROUNDWORK: Cloning the human gene for iNOS opens up avenues of therapy for a variety of diseases, says David Geller

Comments by David A. Geller, University of Pittsburgh

According to David A. Geller, a research assistant professor of surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, the cloning and expression of the gene described in this paper has garnered attention from the scientific community because of the biological importance of its product.

The protein--an inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)--is responsible for the generation of nitric oxide (NO) from arginine. "NO mediates many important functions ...
