In contrast, they contribute only about 40% of general vocabulary, the rest being largely derived from Old English and French. Furthermore, many fewer other languages contribute to medical than to general vocabulary. The development of English general vocabulary was influenced first by the Roman invasions between 55 BC and 43 AD, followed by over 360 years of Roman presence, and then later, after the Romans…

AAK has released its new solution to support metabolic and immune health, AkoVita OptiSyn. The ingredient is a unique combination of omega-3 DHA and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in a proprietary ratio that claims to outperform traditional sources like algae and fish oil. AkoVita OptiSyn maximizes DHA’s effect by boosting its uptake in the cell membranes of adipose tissue, where it becomes biologically active.Trials have revealed omega-3 DHA to be a powerful weapon in the fight against metabolic syndrome. However, not all the DHA consumed reaches human cell membranes, where it is needed — a target area AkoVita OptiSyn addresses.“We know that…

The researchers, headed by teams at University of Cambridge, U.K., and at the National Institute on Aging, suggest their discovery of the disease-associated radial glial-like (DARG) cells represents a significant step towards understanding the complex mechanisms that drive MS and provides a promising new avenue for research into more effective therapies.

The study, published in the journal Science, focused on how diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs), which carry collections of genes that work together to create random mutations in specific hotspots in bacterial genomes, accelerate bacterial evolution and allow the microbes…
