The UN’s Brief on the Biology of Aging

A new brief from the United Nations (UN) Scientific Advisory Board examines the latest developments in geroscience—a field devoted to delaying, preventing, and treating diseases linked to aging.

A new United Nations brief examines how researchers are addressing an aging global population with geroscience—a field seeking to understand how to intervene against aging.

<p>Participants: Middle-aged adults carrying two copies of the APOE4 gene </p>
<p>Dosage: 1 mg/kg/day of rapamycin for 4 weeks </p>


The prescription drug rapamycin a.k.a. sirolimus, an FDA-approved mTOR inhibitor, increases the brain volume of cognitively normal individuals at risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease.
