My mind is blown by the connection between Rapamycin and aging. Anyone else deep into this?
posted

I just fell down a rabbit hole reading about Mikhail Blagosklonny's work and it's completely changed how I think about getting older. His hyperfunction theory of aging, which frames it as an over-activation of growth pathways, makes so much sense.

It all centers on the mTOR pathway. The idea that a drug like Rapamycin could slow aging by briefly inhibiting this pathway is fascinating. It feels like one of the most promising, science-backed avenues for longevity I've come across.

I found a great resource that breaks down his theories in a way that finally clicked for me. You can check out the article I read here.

Is anyone else here looking into mTOR inhibition? I'd love to hear your thoughts or if you have other good sources to recommend.
