Out of my 91 papers on rapamycin, I select five for a brief introduction and historic perspective

1.Most recent and comprehensive analysis why rapamycin can and should be used to treat aging and prevent diseases

2. By 2010, 12 predictions of mTOR theory of aging have been confirmed (including life extension in mice). “The only prediction remained in 2010 to be confirmed: rapamycin will become the cornerstone of anti-aging therapy in our life time”

3.In 2010, Intermittent (6 days per 4 weeks) administration of Rapamycin slows aging and extends maximal lifespan in mice

4. In 2008. mTOR drives cellular senescence and rapamycin suppresses senescence

5.Original hyperfunction theory of mTOR-driven programmed-like aging and rapamycin applications to treat all age-related diseases by suppressing aging
