Study finds human brain cells continue to form into late adulthood, ET HealthWorld
New Delhi: A study has shown that neurons or nerve cells continue to form well into late adulthood in the brain’s hippocampus, which manages memory — a finding that presents compelling new evidence about the human brain’s adaptability.
Neurogenesis — a process whereby new neurons are created — is said to continue throughout one’s life, even as the rate is considered to slow down with age.
However, researchers from Karonlinska Institutet in Sweden said the extent and significance of neurogenesis is still debated with no clear evidence of cells that precede new neurons — or ‘neural progenitor cells’ — actually existing and dividing in adults.
“We have now been able to identify these cells of origin, which confirms that there is an ongoing formation of neurons in the hippocampus of the adult brain,” Jonas Frisen, professor of stem cell research, Karolinska Institutet, who led the research published in the journal Science.
The team used carbon dating methods to analyse DNA from brain tissue, which made it possible to determine when the cells were formed. Tissue samples of people aged 0 to 78 were obtained from international biobanks, they said.
The results showed that cells that precede the forming of new neurons in adults are similar to those mice, pigs and monkeys, with differences in genes which are active.
The researchers also found large differences between individuals — some adult humans had many neural progenitor cells, others hardly any at all.
Frisen added that the study is an “important piece of the puzzle in understanding how the human brain works and changes during life”, with implications for developing regenerative treatments in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
A steady loss of neurons resulting in an impaired functioning and eventually cell death is said to drive neurodegenerative disorders, which affects the hippocampus, among other brain regions. Risks of the disorders are known to heighten with age.
For the study, the researchers used a method called ‘single-nucleus RNA sequencing’, which looks at activity of a gene in a cell’s nucleus.
This was combined with machine learning (a type of AI) to discern varied stages of how neurons develop, from stem cells to immature neurons, many of which were in the division phase, the team said.
“We analysed the human hippocampus from birth through adulthood by single-nucleus RNA sequencing. We identified all neural progenitor cell stages in early childhood,” they wrote.
“In adults, using antibodies against the proliferation marker Ki67 and machine learning algorithms, we found proliferating neural progenitor cells,” the authors wrote.
“The results support the idea that adult neurogenesis occurs in the human hippocampus and add valuable insights of scientific and medical interest,” the study said. PTI

Pak’s 1954 gold medallist Din Mohammad dies
Pakistan’s first-ever international gold medallist wrestler Din Mohammad passed away after a prolonged illness. He was over 100 years old.
Hailing from Lahore’s Bata Pur area, Din Mohammad earned the honour of winning Pakistan’s first gold medal in the 1954 Asian Games held in Manila.
Representing the country in wrestling, he defeated opponents from the Philippines, India, and Japan to claim the top podium spot.
Besides the Asian Games gold, Din Mohammad also brought home a bronze medal from the Commonwealth Games and represented Pakistan in numerous international events, raising the national flag with pride.
Punjab Sports Board spokesperson confirmed his passing and recalled that it was Din Mohammad who gave Pakistan its first-ever gold at an international event.
Punjab Sports Minister Malik Faisal Ayub Khokhar expressed deep sorrow at his death, saying: “Din Mohammad’s services to the nation and wrestling are unforgettable. He lifted Pakistan’s flag in international arenas and is a true national hero.”
Punjab Director-General of Sports Khizar Afzal Chaudhry also conveyed heartfelt condolences, saying: “May Allah grant him the highest place in Jannah. Wrestler Din Mohammad made the nation proud and his contribution to Pakistani sports will always be remembered.”
Both officials extended prayers and sympathies to the bereaved family, terming Din Mohammad a source of pride for the nation and an inspiration for future generations.

PHF welcomes reports of India allowing Pak for Asia Cup
KARACHI:Pakistan hockey officials and team captain Ammad Shakeel Butt have welcomed reports from India suggesting their national team will be allowed to compete in the upcoming Asia Cup, but stressed that any participation will hinge on approval from Islamabad.
Indian media, citing sports ministry sources, reported that Pakistan’s hockey team will face no hurdles in travelling to India for the tournament, scheduled in Rajgir, Bihar from August 29 to September 7.
According to the Press Trust of India, the Indian sports ministry has already secured permissions from both the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs, Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net) learnt on Friday.
The Asia Cup is a crucial event for Pakistan hockey, serving as a qualifying tournament for next year’s World Cup to be co-hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands.
Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) Secretary Rana Mujahid struck a cautiously optimistic note when speaking to Telecom Asia Sport. “We have to wait and see to ascertain the credibility, but surely these are positive developments,” Mujahid said. “However, let me make it clearour participation will depend on clearance from the government.”
Given this context, PHF officials had already written to the Asian Hockey Federation and the International Hockey Federation, seeking guarantees that players would receive the necessary visas not only for the Asia Cup but also for the FIH Junior World Cup, which India’s Tamil Nadu state will host in November.
Pakistan head coach Tahir Zaman said he was encouraged by the developments.
“This is good news for not only Pakistan hockey but also for the international game,” Zaman told Telecom Asia Sport. “Our participation will still depend on government clearance, and we look forward to that.”
Zaman added that players have been instructed to stay ready despite the uncertainty. “We are planning to hold a preparation camp for the Asia Cup, and even at this stage, players have been told to keep working on their fitness at home.”
Team captain Ammad Shakeel Butt also welcomed the reports and expressed hope that sporting ties between the two nations could begin to improve.
“We welcome this and hope to get ready for the event as and when we get the permission,” Butt said. Last month, he publicly appealed for the restoration of sporting ties between India and Pakistan.

AIism and shackling of journalism
IN May 2025, a media panel in Bangkok delivered a stark observation: AI cannot be curious.
It has no heart. That chilling remark captures the growing unease within journalism circles. Today’s newsrooms—once animated by fieldwork and fact-checking—are becoming quiet and machine-assisted. Artificial Intelligence, particularly generative models, has started to influence how news is drafted, edited and shared. This slow transformation, which I term AIism, is quietly shifting the practice of journalism.
Across various newsrooms, journalists are relying more on digital tools to handle routine tasks. While these tools can assist with editing and information sorting, there is a concern that too much dependence could erode essential journalistic practices. Journalism’s core mission has always been to question, investigate, and verify—and those values must be upheld regardless of new technologies.
Editors now often expect quicker turnarounds, and journalists, facing time pressures, sometimes resort to shortcuts. The tradition of rigorous field reporting, following leads, and verifying facts remains essential. Journalists should continue to pursue firsthand accounts, build credible sources, and document events with clarity and integrity.
In many regions, particularly across the Global South, newsrooms face staffing and funding challenges. In such environments, digital tools are understandably attractive. But overuse or unquestioned use of such tools can lead to uniform and surface-level stories. Journalistic work should retain its distinct voice, regional context and critical analysis.
There’s also concern about how global news flows through centralized sources. In some cases, stories from different parts of the world are edited from afar, reducing the space for local nuance. It’s important that journalism reflect the diversity of the places and people it reports on. Stories need to be shaped not just by what’s convenient to publish, but by what’s essential to know.
Even in highly digitized environments, experienced reporters emphasize the value of field presence. The ability to read a room, interpret tone, and engage with communities cannot be replaced by screens or statistics. Journalism is, at its best, an act of bearing witness—something that requires presence, attention, and empathy.
Newsrooms and journalists must continue to value these skills. The power of a journalist lies in their ability to ask questions that matter and seek answers that serve the public interest. While tools can assist, they cannot replace the human insight and judgment required to understand complex realities.
There is nothing inherently wrong with using digital support in journalism. But those tools should serve journalists—not define their output. As the media landscape evolves, the responsibility to maintain standards, verify information, and uphold credibility remains with the journalist.
In the current environment, where content is produced quickly and circulated widely, the role of journalism becomes even more crucial. Authentic reporting, clarity of facts, and thoughtful storytelling are needed more than ever.
The rise of AIism in journalism is a reminder: while technologies may change, the mission of journalism does not. It remains grounded in truth, responsibility, and public trust.

steel arcs blossom into kong xiangwei studio’s theater in china
seven slender steel arcs shape Camellia Theater in China
At 2,300 meters above sea level in the highlands of Wuliang Mountain, a delicate steel pavilion, designed by Kong Xiangwei Studio, shimmers above a tea garden. The open-air Camellia Theater in Dali, Yunnan, China, emerges from the mists of Fenghuang Mountain as a weightless structure that frames the land and sky. Its purpose is to host cultural performances, quiet contemplation, and everything in between as part of a larger transformation of this historic tea estate into a tea-tourism destination.
Inspired by the form of a camellia flower, the structure was not conceived through formal drawings but emerged on-site through hand-weaving steel bars, an approach developed by the studio in close collaboration with local workers. The initial form, determined in a single day, takes shape through seven slender steel arcs that resemble petals, streamers, or even celestial tassels. ‘They are both petals and streamers,’ the designers explain, ‘like silver tassels shaken down from the sky.’

Part of a wider homestay renovation and cultural upgrade of the estate, the Camellia Theater sits on a natural platform recommended by the head of Huilong Village, an already beloved scenic overlook between Fenghuang Mountain and the Lancang River. The architects at Kong Xiangwei Studio opt for an intuitive intervention that blends almost invisibly with its surroundings. ‘The tea garden is a wordless poem,’ they share. ‘Human intervention should be as light as dewdrops on leaves.’
Beneath its delicate, petal-like canopy, the structure curves into the shape of a circular bench that wraps around a central clearing. It avoids disturbing the surrounding tea trees, creating a space that functions as a stage and audience seating. When a singer or storyteller stands in the middle, they’re performing to a crowd, and at the same time they’re enveloped by the landscape itself.

That immersive effect is constantly in flux, thanks to the mountain’s unpredictable microclimate. At times, the theater floats in clear sunlight; at others, it disappears into mist. These conditions are part of the experience. When the sun sets, the sky often fills with glowing cloud formations, transforming the entire scene into a quiet spectacle. Even when there’s no scheduled performance, the environment itself puts on a show.
And seen from the other side of the forest, something interesting happens: the theater’s form, those seven petal-like arcs, begins to resemble a crown. Whether coincidence or subconscious intuition, the image connects to local legend, evoking the mythical queen of Caowang Mountain, weaving folklore into the architectural gesture.

Megyn Kelly slams Charlize Theron for ‘vulgar’ admission: ‘Have some class’
Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back when reacting to Charlize Theron’s recent comments about her personal life.
The former Fox News anchor shared strong criticism during the latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, where she labeled the actress’s podcast appearance as “vulgar” and “off-putting.”
“She decided to go on a podcast tour, for some reason, sat down with Call Her Daddy, the s*x podcaster who interviewed Kamala Harris, all about how much they love abortions,” Kelly said.
“And this is Charlize Theron trying to sound like [a] super cool girl, and I’m gonna let you decide for yourself whether that’s what she accomplished…”
Theron, 49, had opened up during her interview with host Alex Cooper, saying, “I did just recently f–k a 26-year-old, and it was really amazing… I’ve never done that.
And I was like, ‘Oh, this is great.’ Women should be the ones that are like, ‘F–k you, I’m going to have an orgasm.’”
Kelly questioned the tone and intention behind the actress’s remarks.
“She’s 49 years old. She’s trying to sound like she’s 26 years old, and it’s inappropriate. It feels weird. She’s one of our biggest stars, that’s true. Act like it… Have some class.”
Later in the episode, Kelly went further, suggesting Theron may not be fully truthful about the relationship.
“I kind of call bulls–t, because I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women. That’s my belief. Okay, I’m entitled to my opinion, and there’s no reason to get into the details as to why I believe it, but I believe it,” she said.
“And I don’t think that she’s telling the truth about the 26-year-old.”
Theron is currently promoting her upcoming Netflix action film The Old Guard 2, and her comments have stirred a wave of reaction online and across media.

Diver Sees An Enormous Turtle On The Sea Floor And Realizes He Needs Help
When Mike Papish, a diver and underwater photographer, first spotted Lenny — a 322-pound loggerhead sea turtle — he knew he needed to get him help. The turtle wasn’t using his front flipper, which was partially missing, and he had wounds on his head.
Mike Papish “It was most certainly from a shark attack,” Papish told The Dodo of Lenny’s injuries.
But rescuing a turtle of Lenny’s magnitude was no easy feat. It took the combined efforts of Papish and a crew of divers from Sundance Watersports to bring the loggerhead to their boat. And that’s when the realities of transporting a wild animal the size of a grand piano set in: “Once we got him fully on board, it wasn’t even over,” Papish said. “We had to barricade him with three gigantic ice chests full of ice, and even those he was able to just swat out of the way, so it took all four of us sitting on giant chests of ice barricaded around Lenny to get him back to shore.”
Mike Papish On land, Lenny was taken to The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, Florida, where he received fluids, wound care, antibiotics and laser therapy.
To call Lenny’s arrival at the hospital a “grand entrance” would be an understatement: “He was the largest loggerhead that I’ve ever seen,“ said Bette Zirkelbach, the manager of The Turtle Hospital. And, in her 13 years of managing the facility, she’s seen more than her fair share of sea turtles. The nonprofit hospital, which is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing sea turtles in the Florida Keys, has treated more than 3,000 patients since it was founded in 1984.
THE TURTLE HOSPITAL/MARATHON TURTLE HOSPITAL After just two weeks of care at the hospital, Lenny was ready to be released.
“It was critical to get Lenny back out there because it was mating season in the Florida Keys,” Zirkelbach said. Loggerhead turtles are an endangered species. And Lenny, who is estimated to be 60 to 70 years old, is of reproductive maturity.
“Sea turtles are a vital part of the ecosystem,” Papish explained. “They keep our seagrasses in check by grazing them like cows do. If they don’t, the seagrass gets overgrown, and it smothers the coral and hurts the reefs.”
In late March, Lenny made a triumphant return to the waters where he was first found.
THE TURTLE HOSPITAL/MARATHON TURTLE HOSPITAL “It’s the best feeling,” Zirkelbach said of Lenny’s homecoming.
Since his release, Papish has crossed paths with Lenny several times, including during a recent encounter in early June.
“He’s doing better every time I see him. He’s got more strength in his injured flipper, and his swimming is stronger. When he goes up to get air, he gets it with more confidence. He doesn’t struggle like the day we released him” Papish said.
Mike Papish Papish describes Lenny’s personality as curious and a little playful: “Every time I see him, he comes in and does a lap right under the boat so all the snorkelers can see him, and then he goes back to deeper waters.”

The Forgotten Version of Mazda’s Rotary Sports Car
Mazda’s sports cars may be few and far between today, with the MX-5 Miata being the only roadster left for a fun track day. But it wasn’t always that way. Powered by a Wankel rotary engine, all three generations of the RX-7 defy normal automotive tradition. Most enthusiasts are aware of the FD RX-7 – the third generation of the brand’s most popular sports car.

However, the generation before it is worthy of praise, as well. Dubbed the FC RX-7, the second-gen is often overlooked despite being an exciting, lightweight GT car with both coupe and convertible options. Here is everything you need to know about the Mazda FC RX-7.
A Brief History Of The RX-7
Mazda’s beloved rotary sports car was brought into existence for the 1978 model year for its first generation. Designed by Matasaburo Maeda, the RX-7’s first generation was inspired by the Lotus Elan – a British sports coupe with small, lightweight construction and somewhat low power. This model was powered by a twin-rotor rotary engine mounted in the front of the car, but behind the front axle, earning it a “front mid-engine” car moniker. This gave it a 50/50 weight balance, a low center of gravity, and it weighed just 2,500 pounds. So, despite having low horsepower (only about 101 hp), the first-gen was still a blast to drive.
With the success of Mazda’s gamble on a new sports car and unconventional powertrain, the brand went on to produce two more generations of the RX-7. The second-gen is called the FC, and the third, which is arguably the most popular, is the FD. The FC vs FD RX-7 debate is a brief one, since most tuners and enthusiasts only know and recognize the third-gen model for its iconic, smooth styling – a vast difference compared to the sharp wedge shade of the FC. The last iteration of the RX-7, the FD, sold until the 1995 model year, before the legendary sports car was retired from production. Today, it’s mentioned in the same breathe as other Japanese greats like the Toyota MkIV Supra and the Nissan R34 GTR, and it’s thrilling to see them all side-by-side.
2nd-generation: Mazda RX-7 FC
The FC RX-7 was produced from 1986 to 1991. Overall, it was a huge improvement over the first generation, with nearly double the original’s horsepower, updated styling, and more tech. The FC RX-7’s weight was inflated due to some new features, but not by much. Unladen, the FC RX-7 gained about 350 pounds over the first-gen. With upgrades like leather upholstery and a quieter cabin, the FC was a better grand tourer than the FB while still staying true to its sporty origins.

Mazda FC RX-7: Japan’s Porsche 924
Modeled After Excellence
Both the FC RX-7 convertible and coupe were modeled with the goal of openly targeting the Porsche 924 and 944. While some Porsche purists aren’t huge fans of these front-engine sports cars, they’re still incredibly fun and sought-after. When Mazda designed the first RX-7, the FB, it did so by modeling it after a British sports car. In order to stay true to its origins, but still provide upgrades and class to the FC, the brand looked to the Germans. It didn’t exactly copy Porsche’s designs, but Its inspiration is apparent in the FC’s wedge-shaped nose and angular body lines.
The FC’s steering column was still not adjustable, though, and its gauge cluster still sported orange-on-black dials like the FB. Its belt line was higher, creating a tighter enclosure while keeping adequate visibility all around, and the FC came with bigger wheels than the FB. The soft-top convertible keeps similar body lines to the coupe, but the hardtop two-seater is one of the best-looking coupes from the era.
The FC RX-7 Was Born To Win
Mazda Didn’t Come to Mess Around
FC RX-7 horsepower varies depending on which powertrain you choose – the non-turbo version made 147 hp while adding forced induction boosted the power to 185 hp in stock form. While the FC was released for the 1986 model year, buyers didn’t have the option of a turbocharger until the ’89 model year. The N/A version is still a lightweight, well-balanced sports car, but the one to buy today would be the turbo, simply due to the power output, more speed, and the sweet sound of a turbo whistling under the hood.

In addition to the 13B engine in the Turbo II, it’s fitted with independent rear suspension, passive rear steering, more precise rack-and-pinion steering, and disc brakes all around. Like any turbocharged car from this era, there is no anti-lag system – the turbo spools up at around 3,500 RPM, then lunges forward like a proper sports car.

Why The Rotary Engine Is So Revered
Mazda’s rotary engine may be making a comeback, and we couldn’t be more excited. In general, the FC RX-7 engine is an incredibly smooth rotary with fewer moving parts than a piston engine. There are no reciprocating parts like one would find in a traditional internal combustion engine, which eliminates a significant amount of the typical movement that might wear parts down and be less efficient in conserving energy. It’s also packaged more tightly, giving it a better power-to-weight ratio, and the small, simple design is cheaper to produce. How could we forget, too, that the sound of a rotary is so sweet?
It Doesn’t Last As Long As A Piston Engine
Unfortunately, the Wankel isn’t the most reliable engine of all time. Despite being a thrilling option with unique sound and low weight, the rotary is simply not efficient enough at circulating engine oil to lubricate its rotors. In a typical piston engine, oil is picked up from the oil pan via the oil pump, then pulled through the filter to remove particulates before being injected into various parts of the engine to prevent metal-on-metal contact. A rotary, on the other hand, simply can’t recirculate any oil that enters due to the centrifugal force created by the rotors spinning. The Wankel makes up for this by mixing lubricant into the air-fuel mixture, similar to a two-stroke engine. While this works temporarily, it burns off oil faster than a piston engine would.
How Much Is The Rotary Engine RX-7 Worth Today?
Somewhat Affordable
Buying a JDM FC RX-7 today will set you back anywhere between $10,000 and $20,000 for a model in good condition. Of course, pricing depends on where you are in the country, the car’s condition, how many miles the engine racked up over the last three decades or so, and many more factors. While non-turbocharged and earlier model year examples can go for under $10k, the turbocharged variants are still sought after – not as much as the FD, which can bring in six figures, in some cases. Ultra-low-mileage turbo examples have been sold for between $20k and $30k in the last year across various online auction sites, but the FC in general is a somewhat affordable car to buy today.

Mazda RX-7 Successor Could Be Here Sooner Than We Think
Chief designer Masashi Nakayama has said the automaker wants to put the Iconic SP concept into production.
Summary: The FC RX-7 Is An Underrated Legend
It Deserves More Recognition
The RX-7 is one of the coolest, unique sports cars of our time, and the second-generation deserves more recognition for its impact. Not everybody can afford an FD, even if the third-gen has subjectively better styling and factually more power. The RX-7 was introduced in the late seventies with inspiration based on a British sports car, so it only made sense to model the second generation after an equally interesting and capable sports car from Germany. Styling aside, the FC, especially the turbo version, is a bargain for what it’s capable of. You might pay the price when its rotary falls apart, but as long as it’s still running, you won’t regret the driving experience it provides.

Pokémon Go Eevee Community Day Classic guide
Pokémon Go is having an Eevee Community Day Classic event on both July 5 and 6 from 2-5 p.m. in your local time.
As expected with a Community Day event, Eevee will spawn in huge numbers with a high chance for it to appear shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks, which we’ve listed out below.
How do I catch a shiny Eevee in Pokémon Go?
As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), Shiny rates on Community Days are about 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour window, you should find quite a few shiny Pokémon.
Graphic: Julia Lee/Polygon | Source images: Niantic
If you’re short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop an Incense, then quickly tap each Eevee to check for shiny ones, running from any that aren’t shiny. Notably, any Eevee you’ve already tapped will face where your player is standing, so that should help identify which ones you may have already checked.
What Community Day move does Eevee’s evolution learn?
If you evolve Eevee into any of its special evolutions from July 5 at 2 p.m. until July 12 at 10 p.m. in your local time, it will learn the following moves, depending on which evolution you pick:
- Vaporeon: Scald (charged move)
- Jolteon: Zap Cannon (charged move)
- Flareon: Superpower (charged move)
- Espeon: Shadow Ball (charged move)
- Umbreon: Psychic (charged move)
- Leafeon: Bullet Seed (fast move)
- Glaceon: Water Pulse (charged move)
- Sylveon: Psyshock (charged move)
Any Eevee caught or hatched during the event will also know the charged move Last Resort.
If you miss out on evolving it during this period, you will likely be able to evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get whichever move, but know that since the evolution requirements are lessened during this event, it’s easier to just do it now. If you don’t want to wait, you can use an Elite TM to get the move.
How do the Eeveelutions do in the Pokémon Go meta?
For PvE content (raids and gyms), only a few of the Eevee evolutions hold meta relevance. Espeon can hold its weight as a psychic-type attacker with Confusion and Psychic, Glaceon is a decent ice-type attacker with Frost Breath and Avalanche, and Sylveon can also help dish out damage as a fairy-type attacker with Charm and Dazzling Gleam.
For PvP, the only two Eeveelutions that break through the top #200 barrier (according to PvPoke) are Umbreon in the Ultra League and Sylveon in the Master League. Umbreon will want Snarl with Foul Play and Last Resort and Sylveon will want Charm with Moonblast and Psyshock.
How do I make the most of Eevee Community Day?
The following bonuses will be active during Eevee Community Day:
- 1⁄4 hatch distance for eggs placed into Incubators during the event
- Incense lasts three hours
- Lure Modules lasts three hours
- Eevee special photobombs when taking snapshots
- Evolution requirements for Espeon and Umbreon lowered to 1 km walking (from 10 km)
- Evolution requirement for Sylveon lowered to seven buddy hearts (from 70 hearts)
That said, you should definitely put your eggs in incubators and pop an Incense and try to nab a ton of Eevee.
If you can Mega Evolve Pidgeot, Kangaskhan, Lopunny, or Audino, you’ll score additional Eevee Candy per catch.
There will also be “Community Day Continued” Timed Research until Saturday, July 12 at 10 p.m. that will reward more Eevee, including ones with special themed backgrounds. This research will keep the increased shiny rate for Eevee, even after the three-hour event is over, so make sure you complete them for extra chances to get a shiny.
