An Information Approach to Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Extending Swerdlow’s Hypothesis

An Information Approach to Mitochondrial Dysfunction

by Rodrick Wallace

The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories. The focus is on statistical mechanics and other models that explore pathological phase transitions driven by changes in available rates of mitochondrial free energy in physiological functions, a cutting-edge topic in the study of chronic disease. One of the key focuses is Alzheimer’s disease a relatively simple canonical example.
