Abstract in brief

  • In 2009, researchers discovered that rapamycin could extend the lifespan of mice even when given later in life, changing how scientists think about aging and its treatment.
  • Over the past decade, studies have shown that rapamycin has effects on various age-related issues in mice, including lifespan, heart disease, brain function, immune health, and cell aging.
  • The review suggests that now is the time to move from animal studies to clinical trials in humans to explore rapamycin as a potential treatment for diseases like Alzheimer's.]
