Preclinical research points to rapamycin — a drug long used in transplant medicine and best known for its anti-aging links — as a potential treatment to reverse or delay Alzheimer's disease progression. Because rapamycin is already well-characterized, dosing and safety data exist, potentially shortening the path to clinical use if human trials confirm the effect. This reframes AD as a disease addressable through existing pharmacological pathways (likely mTOR/autophagy modulation), not only through speculative new drugs.
