Function preservation1
Clearing early senescent cells may disrupt bone repair by erasing spatial differentiation cues
Where this hypothesis actsEarly bone repair, where correctly positioned senescent cells may supply or position morphogen sources
What is proposedPreserve correctly positioned early senescent repair cells
With whatNot stated in the record
HowSelectively preserve early cells according to their spatial position; the preservation technique is not stated
Possible resultPossible protection of positional information and formation of a mechanically continuous bone bridge

Senolysis3
A self-supporting matrix may determine when senescent cell removal preserves skin strength
Where this hypothesis actsTransient senescence during early skin wound healing
What is proposedPreserve cells until the matrix forms a stable load-bearing network, then remove them
With whatInstrument or assay
HowTime removal by whether the matrix maintains load transmission during brief suppression of active cellular contraction
Possible resultPossible improvement in later skin strength compared with immediate cell removal

Removing senescent cells may renew damage by removing their mechanical protection
Where this hypothesis actsChronically senescent cells in aged skin
What is proposedRemove harmful senescent cells while restoring their mechanical protection
With whatNot stated in the record
HowNot stated in the record
Possible resultPossible reduction in SPV_1 when cell removal is combined with restored load dissipation

Organelle upkeep, secretion control and cell removal may independently extend life
Where this hypothesis actsSenescent cells that impair tissue repair even when their secretion is suppressed
What is proposedRemove senescent cells that impair tissue repair
With whatNot stated in the record
HowUse antigen-dependent cytotoxicity requiring antigen presentation by the senescent cells
Possible resultPossible lasting functional benefits across multiple systems and increased lifespan
