Health Benefits Of Molecule Associated With Male Sexual Arousal Examined
Nitric oxide is obviously a fundamental signaling molecule - from causing erections to facilitating brain function - and understanding its action at a synapse will help us in the treatment of the pathology of several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Email from Vice President Joe Biden
Pierre,
A few weeks ago, President Obama asked you to share your personal story about how the health care crisis has affected you and the ones you love. Hundreds of thousands of stories poured in from every corner of the country. The President and I have read through many of them ourselves -- and now I'm encouraging you to do so as well.
Read these powerful, personal stories from people in your area and around the country.
Read these powerful stories
And after you do, please forward this note on to as many people as you can.
For folks who don't yet understand why health care reform is such an urgent priority, these stories make the case far better than any statistics ever could.
For those who support health care reform but haven't yet found the time to join our campaign, these stories provide more motivation than any speech any politician could ever give.
So please read these stories, pass this note on to everyone in your address book, and help us show everyone in America why fixing our broken health care system is a necessity that just can't wait:

Thank you,
Vice President Joe Biden

Birth Control Pill for Men Could be Available Soon, Says WHO
Variation in the Same Gene Affects Rate of Parasite Infection in Both Humans and Baboons
Humans and baboons share similar evolutionary histories and environments in the East African savanna. Parallel evolution has also been demonstrated in how variation of the Duffy gene affects their respective resistance or susceptibility to infection by malaria parasites. The mechanism is well-known in humans: when the Duffy gene is on, it builds receptors on the surface of red blood cells allowing malaria parasites to land. When the gene is off--there is no infection.
In baboons--there is also a definite link from genetic variation to degree of infection by a malaria-like parasite, but the mechanism is less clear. When the gene is on, more receptors are built, but the incidence of infection is also lower. When the gene is off, the opposite is true.

Health Care Organizing Kickoff
On June 6th, tens of thousands of people came together to organize for health care reform by attending thousands of Health Care Organizing Kickoff events in all fifty states.
These events were an opportunity for Americans to voice their support for President Obama's three principles for health care reform. Go to www.barackobama.com/HealthCare to read the principles and to add your voice to the growing chorus for reform in America.
Together, well win health care reform the same way we won the election: Building support one block, one neighbor, one conversation at a time.

Email from Vice President Joe Biden : Join Team Obama
Pierre,
I'll never forget August 21st, 2008 -- the day Senator Obama asked me to join his team.
Today, I'm asking you to do the same, by becoming a member of Team Obama.
With a monthly donation of just $15 or more, you can join Team Obama and make a tremendous difference in our efforts to achieve real health care reform, create a world-class education system, and build a clean energy future.
Will you join Team Obama with a monthly donation of $15 or more?
Join Team Obama Make a one-time donation
Remember what President Obama said on Election Night: "This victory alone is not the change we seek -- it is only the chance for us to make that change."
By joining Team Obama, you can take the next step toward realizing that promise of change. Your donation will ensure our party has the resources we need to get out the facts about our reforms, elect excellent leaders who share our commitment, and organize door-to-door, town-by-town, and neighbor-to-neighbor until the job is done.
We won't take a dime from the Washington lobbyists and PACs that power the other side. That's why I really am counting on you to step up.
Make today a day to remember by joining me on Team Obama. Please make a monthly donation of $15 or more:
