Chemical structure of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical under evaluation for its effects on longevity. The project engages the general public to register their dogs in the studies, and therefore the project is an example of citizen science. [3] As of 2022 nearly 40,000 dogs have been registered with the project. [1]
mTOR inhibitors are a class of drugs used to treat several human diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegeneration. They function by inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) (also known as the mechanistic target of rapamycin), which is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that belongs to the family of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) related kinases ...

Kaeberlein's study is part of the dog aging project, which with the help of their owners, is tracking tens of thousands of dogs. The goal: identifying how factors like genes, lifestyle, and ...
Inhibition of mTOR, the molecular target of everolimus, extends the lifespan of model organisms including mice, [37] and mTOR inhibition has been suggested as an anti-aging therapy. Everolimus was used in a clinical trial by Novartis, and short-term treatment was shown to enhance the response to the influenza vaccine in the elderly, possible by ...
Older dogs, similar to this 10-year-old Neapolitan Mastiff, often grow grey hairs on their muzzles, and some dogs grow grey hair all over. Not all dogs gain grey hair when aging.
