Photorelease of Nitric Oxide The multifaceted role nitric oxide (NO) plays in human physiology and pathophysiology has stimulated a massive interest in NO‐releasing compounds for therapeutic purposes. In their Focus Review on page 1116 ff. , which is highlighted on the Inside Cover, Aurore Fraix and Salvatore Sortino summarize the advances on developed photoactivable platforms that combine the photoregulated release of NO with fluorescent functionalities, highlighting their logical design and potential developments for disease phototheranostics.
