The foundational evidence that clearing senescent 'zombie' cells extends lifespan in mice is unaffected by the scandal because it used a genetic method, not the faulty antibodies.

A government program called the Interventions Testing Program (ITP) is designed to be 'brutal' and 'impossible to fool' when testing longevity drugs.

The popular senolytic supplement Fisetin showed absolutely no lifespan extension in mice when tested by the highly reliable Interventions Testing Program.

The massive research error occurred because labs searching for the 'P16' aging protein in a catalog were shown the wrong protein as the top result.

In a proper randomized, placebo-controlled human trial, Fisetin showed no meaningful improvement in pain or function for people with knee arthritis.

For over a decade, hundreds of aging studies in top journals may have measured the wrong protein due to a widespread antibody error.

While senolytic supplements lack strong evidence, exercise is a free intervention that has been rigorously tested and appears to positively impact cellular senescence.
