Rapamycin seems to boost longevity as effectively as eating less Restricting calories has been linked to living longer in many studies, and now it seems that the drug rapamycin has nearly the same effect, at least in animals

Anti-ageing drug rapamycin may extend life almost as effectively as restricting calories – our new research Scientists compared diet, rapamycin and metformin in search for longevity boost.

In my latest piece for @uk.theconversation.com, I explain our latest research with @eivimeycook.bsky.social and @alexeimaklakov.bsky.social on how eating less, rapamycin and metformin affect lifespan.

Check out our new preprint where we explored the link between male ageing and gut microbiota in fruit flies! It has been a pleasure to work with @mdonertas.bsky.social 😊
