What we know about safety, and how little that is
The original aged-mouse work reported that the peptide was well tolerated as far as tested, and that reassurance is far weaker than it sounds. Mouse tolerability is not human safety, and clearing senescent cells carries risks that a short mouse experiment could never reveal. A later study, in which this peptide was one of several clearance tools, concluded that removing senescent lung endothelial cells may worsen pulmonary hemodynamics.
This unit separates the genuine reassurance from the open questions, including the study in which clearing senescent lung cells went with worse hemodynamics, and closes on the regulatory reality. Education only, never medical advice.
