Could a longevity drug help preserve fertility?
Rapamycin, a medication that inhibits the mTOR pathway, is being studied for its ability to slow activation of primordial follicles, the finite egg reserve that determines reproductive lifespan.
In animal studies, rapamycin preserved ovarian reserve, reduced oxidative stress, and delayed markers of ovarian aging. But in humans, research is still experimental, and timing, dosage, and safety remain critical questions.
Can we safely extend reproductive longevity? Clinical trials are underway.
