Research, translated clearly
The Research Library
A plain-English guide to the emerging science of cellular senescence, fisetin, supplement quality, and evidence-based decision-making. Every article links to the underlying research or primary source material.
Start here
What Are Zombie Cells?
What senescent cells are, why researchers study them, and why the zombie-cell metaphor needs context.
Senolytic research
What Are Senolytics?
How researchers are studying compounds that target senescent cells—and why the science is more complicated than simply killing zombie cells.
Fisetin research
Why Researchers Are Studying Fisetin
Why this plant compound became a focus of cellular-senescence research and where human studies stand today.
Fisetin + senolytics
Fisetin and Senolytics
What laboratory, animal, and emerging human research actually tells us about fisetin as a potential senolytic.
Food sources
Fisetin Foods
Which foods naturally contain fisetin, why strawberries stand out, and why dietary fisetin differs from research amounts.
Human clinical research
Fisetin Clinical Trials
The human trials testing fisetin, the outcomes researchers are measuring, and what the evidence does—and does not—establish.
Aging + senescence
Do Zombie Cells Increase With Age?
What human research tells us about cellular senescence as we age, why tissues differ, and what scientists still do not know.
Zombie-cell signaling
SASP Explained
Why senescent cells can remain biologically active, how SASP signaling affects nearby tissue, and why researchers care.
The other side
Can Senescent Cells Be Helpful?
Why cellular senescence can protect us in some situations and why eliminating every senescent cell is not the scientific goal.
Human senolytic research
Senolytics in Humans
What early human trials have found, where fisetin fits, and why promising biology is not proof of an anti-aging treatment.
Prescription senolytic research
Dasatinib + Quercetin
What human D+Q studies actually show, the limitations of current evidence, and why prescription-drug risks and clinical monitoring matter.
2026 SenNet research
Human Senescence Atlas
How researchers are mapping senescent cells across human tissues and why the senotype framework may change the field.
Fisetin comparison
Fisetin vs. Quercetin
Compare fisetin and quercetin across laboratory studies, human research, and the evidence still needed before declaring either superior.
Senescence testing
Can You Test for Zombie Cells?
How researchers identify senescent cells, the biomarkers they use, and why there is no validated whole-body test.
Zombie-cell biology
What Causes Zombie Cells?
How DNA damage, telomere shortening, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, injury, and other signals can trigger senescence.
Fisetin safety
Is Fisetin Safe?
What human research can and cannot tell us about safety, supplements, medications, and when to discuss fisetin with a clinician.
Supplement quality
How to Evaluate a Fisetin Supplement
What to look for on the label, how to think about third-party testing and lot-specific documentation, and the red flags to avoid.
Buying guide
Where to Buy Fisetin
What to check before purchasing: transparent labels, lot details, testing information, price claims, and safety questions.
Cancer research
Can Zombie Cells Cause Cancer?
How cellular senescence can help stop damaged cells from dividing, while persistent zombie-cell signaling may contribute to cancer progression in some contexts.
