History

When did the French Revolution Start?

In 1789, the French Revolution began as economic hardship and inequality fuelled unrest. In May 1789, the Estates-General met, leading to the creation of the National Assembly. Tensions peaked later that year on July 14th with the storming of the Bastille, a symbol of royal oppression, marking the start of a revolution that would forever change France.

Regenerating Bones!?

Your bones aren’t as solid and unchanging as they seem—they’re constantly regenerating. Through a process called bone remodelling, old bone is broken down by osteoclasts, while osteoblasts build new bone in its place. This cycle keeps your skeleton strong and adapts to stress, with your entire skeleton being almost completely replaced every 10 years.
