Does rapamycin actually slow aging? What the science says

While animal studies have consistently shown that rapamycin can extend lifespan and healthspan, reviews of human trials reveal limited evidence to support these claims in healthy adults. The drug, originally an immunosuppressant, has become a focal point in longevity research for its ability to inhibit the mTOR pathway, a key cellular process linked to aging. However, the translation of benefits seen in mice and other organisms to humans remains uncertain and unproven.
