Carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CORMs), mostly metal carbonyl compounds,
are extensively used as experimental tools to deliver CO, a biological 'gasotransmitter', in …

Carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CORMs) are used to deliver CO, a biological
'gasotransmitter', in biological chemistry and biomedicine. CORMs kill bacteria in culture and …

Ruthenium is seldom mentioned in microbiology texts, due to the fact that this metal has no
known, essential roles in biological systems, nor is it generally considered toxic. Since the …

A gasotransmitter is defined as a small, generally reactive, gaseous molecule that, in
solution, is generated endogenously in an organism and exerts important signalling roles. It …

Carbon monoxide (CO) has been known as an endogenous signaling molecule in addition
to an air pollutant. It plays a critical role in many physiological and pathological processes …

Hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide share the ability to be beneficial or harmful
molecules depending on the concentrations to which organisms are exposed. Interestingly …

Over the past decade, a proliferation of research has used nanoparticles to deliver gaseous
