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

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.

dose-response

  • 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
