The Ignition Switch of Inflammaging: How Aging Cells Leak Nucleic Acids and Keep the Immune System Burning

Aging cells leak R-loops and other nucleic acids into the cytoplasm, tripping cGAS-STING and NLRP3 alarms that keep inflammation burning. Three 2026 studies point to the switches and brakes behind inflammaging.

draco.js: Pure JavaScript Draco Mesh Decoder for three.js

A 24KB pure-JS drop-in replacement for three.js DRACOLoader that eliminates WASM setup entirely. Best for static-site deployments where WASM CORS and CSP cause friction. Trades ~1.5x decode speed for zero-config simplicity. Limited to triangle-mesh only.

The Senescent Cells You Can't Clear Out: Why Scientists Are Learning to Tame Them Instead of Killing Them

Senescent cells pile up because aging immune systems stop clearing them efficiently. Instead of killing every senescent cell, new 2026 reviews argue for senomorphic strategies that quiet SASP-driven inflammation.

Directory pages now show lightweight WebP thumbnails

• Spellbook and Blog directory pages now render a dedicated 400×225 WebP thumbnail (cover-card.webp / thumbnail.webp) instead of loading the full hero image — reducing per-card payload by roughly 90 %
• Total listing-page weight drops ~78 MiB; on a cold load with 30+ cards the difference is immediately perceptible on slower connections
• Thumbnails are generated once at publish time and served from R2; existing entries were backfilled automatically

Tools: analysis mode runtime stabilised

• Resolved a dependency pre-bundling issue where fast-xml-parser was incorrectly included in Vite's optimizeDeps list, causing sporadic runtime errors in the Tools analysis mode
• Analysis results are now consistently available without a manual page reload
