A study has confirmed that new neurons are still being made well past adolescence, and suggested that older studies that had claimed otherwise were flawed in their methodology. Older studies had tried to detect the presence of a protein, doublecortin (DCX), in the brain months, or even years after the brain matter was preserved - long after the DCX had deteriorated. The new study examined freshly preserved samples and found a large amount of evidence of newly developed cells. There was about a 30% decrease in the presence of newly developed cells from the youngest to the oldest donor samples, whose ages ranged from 43 to 87. Some scientists remain skeptical of the results, claiming that detected DCX levels were not sufficient evidence for newly developed cells, but the scientists in the study say they used very strict criteria when identifying new cells.

Scientists at the University of Wollongong have developed a bioprinter that can replicate human ears using stem cells and 3D printing technology. The machine is nicknamed 3D Alek, and it prints a bio-ink that can be potentially made from the patient's own stem cells, which means that the printed parts would match the patient's own anatomy. Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital will be the first hospital in New South Wales to receive the printer, which will revolutionize the complex medical procedures required to treat microtia - a congenital condition where the external ear is underdeveloped.

A survey on a diverse cross-section of 1000 US workers found that 76% of Americans hate open office spaces, citing various reasons such as a lack of privacy, overhearing other people's private conversations, being unable to concentrate, and being worried about sensitive information being leaked. 84% of employees would prefer to work from home, where they have a quiet environment to work in while also avoiding the daily commute. The study showed that workers would change jobs if they found a better workspace, with some workers even taking a pay cut for a better environment.

PUBG has been banned in Gujarat, a western state in India, due to its violence and addictiveness, which parents and educators claimed affected students’ ability to study. A group of students was arrested for playing the game in public. Police claimed that the students were so engrossed in the game that they did not notice them approaching. The students were later released on bail. Rival game, Fortnite, has not yet been banned, however, this may be due to Its more fantasy feel and the extra steps required to download the game on Android OS.
