Groundbreaking Rapamycin Study: Meta-Analysis of Effects on Lifespan in Mice
Mega Rapamycin Study Uncovers Clues to Longevity This research revised 29 studies on rapamycin (Rapa) from varied sources. Researchers wanted to see if there was enough evidence from multiple studies to support Rapa's longevity claims. The results showed that the drug helped mice live longer in trials, especially females. One of the interesting findings was…
