The selectivity of the peptide is further discussed by the researchers, who suggest that senescent cells may depend more strongly on FOXO4-mediated control of p53 localization and activity, so disrupting that node might preferentially remove cells that are already operating close to an apoptotic threshold
There is one particular peptide, though, that stands apart from the others for its versatility and safety record: GHK-Cu
