What are senescent cells?

Senescent cells are cells that have permanently stopped dividing but resist apoptosis (programmed death). They accumulate with age and secrete inflammatory molecules (SASP — senescence-associated secretory phenotype) that damage surrounding tissue, drive chronic inflammation, and contribute to age-related diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegeneration.

Is FOXO4-DRI safe for human use?

There are no human safety studies. All data comes from mouse models. The peptide is a research compound only. Self-experimentation carries unknown risks including potential disruption of beneficial senescent cell functions in wound healing and tumor suppression.

How does FOXO4-DRI compare to other senolytics?

Other senolytics include dasatinib+quercetin (D+Q) and fisetin, which are small molecules with human pilot data. FOXO4-DRI is the only peptide-based senolytic with published data. Its mechanism (FOXO4-p53 disruption) is more selective than D+Q but less studied in humans.

What is the recommended dose range for FOXO4-DRI?

The research dose range is No established human dose. Mouse studies used 5 mg/kg IP every 3 days for 3 weeks., administered via Subcutaneous (extrapolated from IP injection in mice), Every 3 days for treatment course (mouse protocol extrapolation).
