摘要

One of today's most promising drugs for targeting aging has a long, circuitous history. In 1999, the US Food and Drug Administration approved rapa-mycin as an immunosuppressant to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs. Scientists later found it affected all sorts of biological processes; the "mammalian target of rapamycin" (or mTOR) includes immune function and inflammation.Experiments also showed that rapamycin extended the life span of yeast, worms, and mice. Could it do the same thing in humans?At present, there's no rigorous way to test rapa-mycin's potential to slow human aging. Rather, researchers have zeroed in on a significant aspect of aging-the decline in immune function-to see if drugs that mimic rapamycin can enhance immune function in older people.Joan B. Mannick is cofounder and chief medical officer of a biotech company called resTORbio, spun out of Novartis in 2017, which is conducting clinical trials of RTB101. It's a drug candidate at the forefront of efforts to slow the age-related decline of the immune response. Mannick says we will have our first answer about the potential of this anti-aging intervention within a year.

Mannick是一家名为Restorbio的Biotech公司的Cofounder和首席医务官,2017年北诺斯出来,正在进行RTB101的临床试验。这是一种毒品候选人,以减缓免疫反应的年龄相关的衰退的最前沿。 Mannick说,我们将在一年内进行关于这种抗衰老干预的潜力的第一个答案。
