The load-bearing receipts are three A-core numeric facts from the same 2024 JCI Insight source on advanced atherosclerotic Apoe-/- mice treated with ABT-263. Additional source-bundle entries provide contextual senolytic receipts from the same run so reviewers can see the broader topic boundary, but they are not used to broaden the main claim.","The central evidence is source-concentrated and preclinical. That is acceptable only for a frontier warning memo because the signal is counter-consensus and internally coherent: the same model/source reports plaque-cell reduction, EndoMT increase, and mortality risk. Contextual bundle papers cover adjacent senolytic biology, but the thesis should remain limited to advanced plaque biology and ABT-263 rather than general anti-aging use.","fact_id=12624: increased EC contributions to lesions via EC-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) by 60% in advanced atherosclerotic Apoe-/- mice fed western diet; intervention: ABT-263 at 100 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg; source DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.173863","Taken together, these receipts support a narrow interpretation: ABT-263 may clear or reduce plaque-associated smooth muscle cells while worsening features linked to plaque instability and survival. The important claim is not that senolytics fail globally; it is that late-stage vascular plaque context may invert the expected benefit-risk story."]}
