Short answer
Not a single studyNo clear answer.
The article covers a research area rather than reporting a specific new paper, so there is no single study to check it against.
Checked against the study summary. The full text wasn't available, so some details couldn't be settled either way.

Claim 1 of 5Not checkedThe article says the findings were published in Nature Aging and presents SRSF1 as a potential geroprotective or anti-aging gene-therapy target.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 2 of 5Not checkedResearchers developed a machine-learning algorithm trained on transcriptomic profiles to predict the age of human skin fibroblast cells across a wide age range.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedacross a wide age range
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 3 of 5Not checkedUsing that predictor, the team screened genes and found that over-expression of SRSF1 was the top-scoring candidate for shifting old fibroblast cell lines toward a more youthful age score.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedtop-scoring candidate
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 4 of 5Not checkedIn aged fibroblasts, SRSF1 reportedly reduced cellular senescence, proteostatic stress, inflammaging, and DNA repair deficits while preserving fibroblast identity and not inducing pluripotency programs.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 5 of 5Not checkedWhen delivered to aged mice with a liver-tropic AAV, SRSF1 reportedly accumulated mainly in the liver, slowed aging-related frailty, and extended median lifespan by 14%.View evidenceHide evidence
