From the abstract of the paper, significantly more nuance.

> Despite persistent immune aging phenotypes, GzmK deficiency markedly attenuated organ aging, effectively uncoupling immune and tissue aging... These findings identify GzmK as a tissue-specific driver of organismal aging but not immune aging or systemic inflammaging.

I'm not sure I see what you mean. To me the original headline seems pretty accurate in view of the paper: the protein causes ageing markers in multiple tissues, however its action is not actually coupled to inflammaging.
