Rapamycin for Longevity?
Rapamycin for Longevity?
The anti-rejection drug rapamycin has been shown in mice and other mammals to reverse cellular damage caused by aging to extend healthy life by up to 20%. This has caused massive off-label prescribing and use of rapamycin in humans as an anti-aging drug.
Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. Describe the mechanism of action of rapamycin and how it may reverse normal aging.
2. Discuss the current state of evidence of rapamycin for this indication and its safety concerns.
