Abstract excerpt
Genetic suppression of activity of the insulin/IGF/mTORC1/Ras network can ameliorate the effects of ageing in animals. The network provides multiple drug targets because of its role in metabolic disease and cancer, and these are candidates for repurposing for geroprotection. For instance, inhibition of the activity of the mTORC1 complex by rapamycin can extend lifespan in multiple organisms including mice, with ea...
