Cover: Role of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite in health and disease. On the one hand, nitric oxide (NO) by activating soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)-cGMP signal transduction pathway mediates various physiological/beneficial effects involved in tissue protection. On the other hand, under pathological conditions (e.g., stroke, myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, diabetes, circulatory shock, chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders, etc.), NO and superoxide (·O-2) react to form peroxynitrite (ONOO-) which attacks various key biomolecules, eventually leading to cellular dysfunction and tissue injury via multiple mechanisms. Physiological Reviews gratefully acknowledges the significant contribution made by Dr. Pál Pacher in the creation of the cover illustration. See Pacher, Pál, Joseph S. Beckman, and Lucas Liaudet. Physiol Rev 87: 315-424, 2007.
