Summary

This early-phase study tests whether a drug called rapamycin can reverse biological aging in 52 healthy adults aged 50 to 80. Participants take the drug for six months, and researchers measure changes in a DNA-based 'aging clock' that estimates biological age. The goal is to see if we can slow or reverse the aging process itself, not just treat age-related diseases.
