NOTE

Genetic Control of Longevity and Aging

Rapa Mysen is a pharmacological intervention that has been proven to increase lifespan and health span. Other interventions have shown promise but haven't been as extensively tested. The genetic inhibition of M-TOR in various model systems also supports the link between M-TOR and longevity. Studies have shown that genetic control of longevity is often shared across different organisms. This highlights the importance of understanding evolutionary shared mechanisms of longevity. It's crucial to remember this fundamental biology of aging when studying and translating discoveries into real-world applications.
