Cell is the most rigorous journal in the world. For a paper like this I'm sure they put the group through the ringer. It says they submitted it in October of last year and worked on revisions until May.

I don't have access to journal subscriptions anymore but I'll try to get creative for this one.

Oh, it’s question of how long they looked for, this stuff pops up later, and reverse aging claim doesn’t immediately imply absence of cancer, more like return of cognitive functions/learning/reflexes speed/blood cell counts/liver/kidney function, whatever. the claim can be true without it being consequences free, and still be pog enough

Yeah I guess I mean that's an obvious concern and this is an unbelievably prestigious journal with an insanely high bar for publication. It's unlikely that they didn't adequately address that concern, it's just impossible to know how without being able to read the paper.
