Scientists say we’ve been treating Alzheimer’s all wrong

Alzheimer’s isn’t just one problem—it’s a tangled mix of biology, aging, and overall health. That’s why drugs targeting a single factor have fallen short, even as new treatments show modest benefits. Scientists are now pushing toward multi-pronged strategies, from gene editing to brain-cell rejuvenation and gut health interventions. The goal: stop treating Alzheimer’s as one disease and start tackling it as a complex system.

Brain scans reveal how ketamine quickly lifts severe depression

A new brain-imaging study has revealed how ketamine produces its fast antidepressant effects in people with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers tracked changes in a critical brain receptor that helps neurons communicate and found that ketamine reshapes its activity in specific brain regions tied to mood and reward. These shifts strongly matched improvements in patients’ symptoms. The findings could help scientists develop better ways to predict who will benefit from ketamine therapy.

This “rotten egg” brain gas could be the key to fighting Alzheimer’s disease

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new player in Alzheimer’s disease: a protein called CSE that helps produce tiny amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas in the brain. In experiments with genetically engineered mice, removing this protein led to memory loss, brain damage, and other hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, including weakened blood-brain barriers and reduced formation of new neurons. The findings suggest that this “rotten egg” gas, when carefully regulated, may actually protect brain cells and support memory.

From Content Creation to the Courtroom: Influencer Liability for Promoting Counterfeit Goods

A recent courtroom loss for a social media influencer is putting a sharper edge on a risk many in the creator economy still underestimate. Nike secured a roughly $11-million jury verdict against Nicholas Tuinenburg in March 2026, an influencer and founder of “Divide The Youth,” after he was found liable for willful counterfeiting and trademark and trade dress infringement....
