There is an overwhelming chance that a drug based on this will never see the light of day, and not just because medical professionals by and large hate the very idea of life extension, although they do. It's an unspecified peptide that purportedly triggers apoptosis in senescent cells to make room for new ones. There are places in the body where you absolutely do not want this, most importantly: nerve cells. If you trigger apoptosis in senescent nerve cells, they're just gone (with very few exceptions). You might have a shiny coat, but you'll be vegetative. Also, this effect has not even been reproduced, and they seem to be playing their cards very close to the chest, which is almost always a massive warning sign. Even the researchers themselves don't seem overly sure they're seeing a statistically significant effect, citing it works on some mice and not on others. Odds are, there is very little to see here.
