title: Another role for nitric oxide in blood flow control?
abstract: In the current issue, Chen and co-authors present a mathematical model to simulate shear stress-dependent nitric oxide (NO) transport in a small reconstructed microvascular network. Here their results are discussed in the context of NO-dependent blood flow control. Furthermore, other NO-dependent blood flow control mechanisms are briefly reviewed.
