I would be VERY interested in reading that http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.12344/pdf paper. Unfortunately the link does not work for me (page not found).
When a link doesn't work, try googling a unique-looking prefix. In this case, 'acel.12344' looks like a unique ID. If I google "http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.12344/", the first hit is http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.12344/abstract which is the paper "The Achilles’ heel of senescent cells: from transcriptome to senolytic drugs", Zhu & Tchkonia et al 2015 in Aging Cell; note that the journal sounds relevant, both Zhu and Tchkonia were mentioned by Darwin, the keyword 'senolytic' is present in the title, and the abstract reads:
Hence you can be immediately confident that this must be the paper Darwin was linking. (Or if the link heuristic didn't occur to you, you could have tried googling the buzzwords in Google Scholar; "senolytics senescent cells in vivo in rodents, and in human cell culture cells" would have turned up that paper as #5, and the preceding papers all look relevant too. And if that didn't work, you could have searched "author:Tchkonia", since it's a highly unusual surname, and it would be #9 in Google Scholar.)
The paper can be downloaded from Wiley right now, but if it couldn't, you could have still gotten a copy from Libgen.
Thanks!
