Controlled release technology will facilitate medical use of physiologically active gases NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE, JAPAN NIMS has developed a solid material capable of slowly releasing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) when exposed to air. These gases can induce physiologically favorable effects at low concentrations (e.g., reducing inflammation and expanding blood vessels)....
