    That’s neat. A drug that expands all your blood vessels.

      Oh, we have lots of those! There are some drugs that we use to treat high blood pressure work by causing vasodilation.

      What’s really interesting about this new drug is:

      “…iloprost is not only a vasodilator but also reduces oxidative stress, suggesting this dual mechanism of action could help explain its impressive potential as a frostbite treatment.”

      It not only dilates blood vessels, it also directly treats reperfusion injury, which is really neat.

    Why would I want to induce frostbite?
