3. Ask questions and brainstorm ideas
- What is the role of eNOS under normal conditions?
- What happens under pathophysiological conditions?
- What are the underlying biological mechanisms?
- What are the current treatments?
- How effective are they?
- What new treatments are being developed?
- Why are they promising?
- Is it worthwhile pursuing research into treatments targeting this enzyme?
