The Science of Slowing Aging: Rapamycin, Genes, and the Quest for a Longer Health Span
In this episode of the Science of Skin Podcast, Dr. Ted Lain talks with Dr. Rich Miller, professor of pathology at the University of Michigan and director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Aging Research, about the science of slowing biological aging.
Dr. Miller explains why lifespan and health span move together, not in opposition, and walks through decades of research using genetic mutants, calorie-restricted diets, and drugs like rapamycin, acarbose, canagliflozin, and 17 alpha-estradiol to extend lifespan in mice. The conversation covers how these interventions work through pathways like…
