Finally a map for human senescence

I found this piece about SenNet publishing a Human Senescence Atlas. It is basically a comprehensive map of where these zombie cells actually accumulate in the human body.
Actually, this is much more useful than another mouse study. I am always a bit skeptical when I see claims about lifespan increases in rodents because it rarely translates directly to us. Having a real human atlas seems like a HUGE step for safety. It might actually help us understand if senolytics are hitting the right targets or just causing random damage.
Tbh, I still wonder if we can even measure this in ourselves without a biopsy. Do you think we will see a blood test that can actually use this atlas to tell us when to start a senolytic cycle? Or is this just more academic theory for now?
