Impact of Rapamycin on Cancer Cell Growth and Brain Health
TLDR Rapamycin may not directly kill cancer cells, but it could delay cancer detection and impact cell growth. In the brain, Rapamycin's effect on autophagy is crucial for understanding neurodegeneration and maintaining brain health.
Timestamped Summary
00:00
The Qualies podcast features short episodes highlighting the best questions and topics discussed on previous episodes of The Peter Attia Drive.
01:25
Rapamycin may not kill cancer cells directly, but it could potentially delay the time it takes for cancer to become clinically detectable and impact cancer cell growth independently of immune modulation.
02:43
Rapamycin may not cure cancer once it has started, but it could potentially impact cancer cell growth and the ability to escape the immune system.
03:53
Rapamycin's impact on autophagy in the brain is crucial for understanding neurodegeneration and maintaining brain health.
05:10
Modulating mTOR activity in the brain is crucial for understanding brain health and neurodegeneration, despite the brain's prioritization of nutrients and protection during fasting.
06:19
Regulating the appetite center in the brain and understanding how mTOR functions in the brain remain important areas of research.
