Now, two researchers, Sara Lewis from Tufts University and Thomas Michel from Harvard Medical School, have unraveled the mystery. Fireflies produce their light with nitric oxide, which is the same gas that regulates blood pressure in humans. The effect of Viagra in humans is also due to nitric oxide. Lewis and Michel, who are married to each other, have been discussing their individual research interests since they met each other as undergraduates at Harvard. Their research overlapped when they realized that they were both working on biological processes involving nitric oxide.</p> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 05:13:00 -0400 70652986 2971 at http://harvardscience.harvard.edu
