Conquer Aging: Rapamycin Doesn’t Rejuvenate The Immune System
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Rapamycin does not rejuvenate the immune system – it may slow aging but cannot reverse immune senescence.
- Focus on calorie restriction as an alternative for life extension, as it triggers fatty acid oxidation (similar mechanism to rapamycin’s benefits).
- Avoid claims that rapamycin or its analogs (rapalogs) can “rejuvenate” the immune system – this is biologically impossible in senescent immune cells lacking mTOR targets.
Notable Quotes
“I think that mTOR inhibition can slow down aging, but it does not rejuvenate the immune system.”
Bottom Line
Prioritize calorie restriction over rapamycin for immune health, and correct misconceptions about rapamycin’s rejuvenation claims.
