Can Rapamycin Extend Fertility? Doctors Investigate.

Researchers at Columbia University are conducting a human study to determine whether the drug rapamycin can slow down aging in ovaries. The study aims to help reduce the pains of menopause and extend the lives of people of all genders with a cheap, once-weekly drug that's already widely used by some cancer patients and transplant recipients. The drug rapamycin could help "conserve those limited, precious eggs" and keep the ovaries functioning more like young, healthy ones do.
