text: Among the gasotransmitter family, nitric oxide (NO) serves as a “star” messenger involved in a number of physiological and pathological activities.2 Especially in the field of cancer therapy, NO not only directly kills cancerous cells at high concentrations (>1 μm ) through the nitrosation of mitochondria and DNA,3 but also cooperatively enhances the efficacy of photodynamic therapy or radiotherapy.4
