The Mitochondrial Recycling Truck: Why Aging Cells Can't Clear Broken Power Plants — and Set Themselves on Fire

Details

Mitophagy — the cell's recycling system for damaged mitochondria — slows with age, letting broken units pile up and leak bacterial-like mtDNA that triggers chronic inflammation. Four 2026 studies show restarting this pathway in rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's models suppresses downstream inflammasome activation, while a fourth study reveals selective autophagy extends well beyond mitochondria.

learn-harness-engineering: A Systematic Course on AI Coding Agent Harness Design

Details

A 12-lecture open-source course that teaches you how to build reliable AI coding agent sessions through structured harness engineering. Best for developers who already use AI agents but struggle with consistency. The bundled harness-creator skill alone is worth a look. Limited by its Electron-app focus.

v0.1

Dose-Response 4PL

Changes (5)
  • Four-parameter logistic (4PL) dose-response fitting for IC50 and EC50, with bottom, top, Hill slope, R-squared, and RMSE
  • Server compute engine keeps the fitting implementation off the public bundle while staying free and open without sign-in
  • Response modes for viability, signal, and inhibition assays, with an optional 0-100 normalization toggle
  • Fitted curve chart on a log10 dose axis, prediction and residual table, fit-quality warnings, and CSV export
  • Shared 4PL core reused by the upcoming ELISA standard-curve interpolation tool
