Given the role of nitric oxide in human physiology and pathophysiology, its controlled delivery has therapeutic applications. Site‐ and dosage‐controlled release of this free radical from caging compounds by light activation can determine its biological effects. NO release with concomitant fluorescence allows easy, real‐time tracking of NO in a non‐invasive fashion even in cells. For more details, see the Review by S. Sortino et al. on page 12714 ff.
