AI Summary

Scientists at the University of Reading tested a gas produced by the body, nitric oxide, on infected wax moth larvae. The study used tiny particles that released nitric oxide. Nine of ten larvae treated with the particles survived bacterial infections, while only about six of ten untreated larvae survived. The results suggest that nitric oxide could become a new treatment option for skin and wound infections, complementing existing antibiotics.
