Researchers identify S-nitrosylation of the immune protein STING at cysteine 148 as a driver of brain inflammation in Alzheimer's; blocking this switch in mice reduced inflammation and protected synapses, with the same pathway active in human Alzheimer’s samples and stem-cell models, suggesting a new therapeutic target that dampens harmful inflammation without shutting down normal immunity.
Researchers pinpoint S-nitrosylation of the STING protein at cysteine 148 as a driver of chronic brain inflammation and synapse loss in Alzheimer’s. In mouse models, preventing this modification reduced inflammation and protected synapses, a result mirrored in human Alzheimer’s tissue and stem-cell models. The findings suggest a targeted therapy that dampens harmful inflammation without suppressing overall immunity, with small molecules designed to block the cysteine-148 site in development.
Darby Allin defeated Maxwell Jacob Friedman to win the AEW World Championship on Dynamite SpringThru, with Sting making a rare appearance that amplified the moment.

The Police royalties case has moved to London’s High Court, with Sting admitting he has paid Summers and Copeland about $800,000 (and Summers/Copeland noting a recent $870,000 payment) toward what they say is an underpayment from download and streaming revenue. Summers and Copeland contend there was an oral agreement later formalized to share royalties, and assert they’re owed more than $2 million; Sting’s side argues streaming is a public-performance issue and royalties should be limited to sales of records. The dispute centers on how the band’s late-1990s/2010s contracts should be interpreted in the streaming era. None of the members attended today’s preliminary hearing as the case progresses.
Sting has paid his former Police bandmates Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland more than £500,000 in royalties after acknowledging underpayment; court filings reveal a recent payment of about $870,000 while Summers and Copeland claim they are owed more than $2 million in publishing income. They argue an oral agreement from 1977, later formalised, entitled them to a 15% share of income from songs like Roxanne and Every Breath You Take, including streaming revenue, whereas Sting’s side says streaming income isn’t royalty-bearing under their 2016 contract (which covers manufacturing) and that the case should not extend to download/digital royalties. The London High Court is considering whether to allow new arguments to claim streaming and download royalties under older contracts, a dispute rooted in The Police’s 1977–84 era, a 2007 reunion, and Sting’s 2022 sale of his songwriting catalogue to Universal Music Group.
AEW WrestleDream 2025 featured a brutal I Quit match where Jon Moxley quit after a violent contest with Darby Allin, with Sting making a surprise appearance.

The platypus is the most venomous mammal, with males possessing a spur that delivers a painful venom, causing intense pain and potential tissue damage, though it is not lethal to humans. Its unique evolutionary path is a result of Australia's long isolation, leading to many distinctive species.
Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland are suing Sting over unpaid royalties for the 1983 hit 'Every Breath You Take,' claiming they were not properly credited as songwriters and have not received their share of the song's substantial earnings.

During a performance at the On The Waterfront festival in Liverpool, drummer Lionel Duke of The Christians collapsed on stage due to a cardiac arrest, prompting a halt to the show and medical intervention; he was hospitalized in an induced coma and is receiving treatment, with fans and bandmates sending support.
A study from UVA reveals that the immune molecule STING, which becomes hyperactive with age, contributes to Alzheimer's disease by promoting harmful brain inflammation. Blocking STING in mice prevented plaque buildup, protected neurons, and improved memory, suggesting it as a promising therapeutic target for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
