Description

A U-shaped dose-response curve exists for HBOT: low-moderate pressures (1.5-2.0 ATA) optimally activate PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy to clear mitochondria with tau seeds, while higher pressures may suppress mitophagy through excessive ROS.

Dimension Scores

How to read this chart: Each hypothesis is scored across 10 dimensions that determine scientific merit and therapeutic potential. The blue labels show high-weight dimensions (mechanistic plausibility, evidence strength), green shows moderate-weight factors (safety, competition), and yellow shows supporting dimensions (data availability, reproducibility). Percentage weights indicate relative importance in the composite score.
