Para ito sa mga interesado sa anti-aging trends.
Among the current substances under investigation, it is believed that rapamycin holds the most potential in addressing the issue of aging among humans. Nakita na ang effectivity niya sa smaller mammals, like mice, but it has a long way to go before it could be available in the market for humans. However, there is no lack of effort in that respect, and Novartis, one of the giants in the pharmaceutical industry, is keen on coming up with a modified version fit for human consumption. The underlying belief in rapamycin stems from its capability to work "on a cellular level. It affects a pathway that helps regulate growth. That pathway can be switched into a more conservative mode where it grows less and consumes less — lack of nutrients seems to trigger the same effect, which may be why fasting helps people live longer. It seems that rapamycin can do the same thing in cells, though this has not yet been demonstrated in humans."
For more about this, Google rapamycin, or start with these:

Is this worth watching out for? It does not exactly promise of a way to live forever, but it sounds as good a start as any.
