That's exactly right and with senescent cells they converted to full-blown malignancy and you know, eventually kill the animal.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
there's very good data now in mice from our lab and other labs that the presence of senescent cells can drive late-life cancer especially those cancers that are pre-malignant and poised to become cancerous but they don't have the mutations that are needed for a full-blown cancer. But under the stimulation, the growth stimulation of a senescence cell, these cells can now start proliferating, they pick up more mutations and then eventually, they become fully malignant.
