Rapamycin: A Cheap Anti-Aging Solution for Dogs and Humans?

Researchers are testing the drug rapamycin on dogs to see if it can help them live longer and healthier lives. If successful, the same treatment could be adapted for humans. The drug has been used for decades in humans who've received a kidney transplant and has also been shown to increase the lifespan of fruit flies, worms, mice, and water fleas. However, the effects of rapamycin on aging dogs and humans are still being studied, and the drug is not without risk factors.
