TLDR; for why intermittent rapamycin extends life. Aging is a quasi-programmed continuation of growth. mTOR (an enzyme) is the key regulator of growth, and it is present in all cells of the human body. Rapamycin inhibits mTOR, which slows down growth, which in turn slows down aging.

mTOR activation is also reduced in older people, while sarcopenia increases. It's not that simple...
