Ovaries age 2.5x faster than any other organ. For decades, nobody studied why.
A weekly rapamycin pill just changed that.
@ColumbiaOBGYN's VIBRANT trial: egg loss dropped 70%, from ~50 to ~15 per month (n=50). VIBRANT II
expanding to 1,000 women.
Why it works: a @NatureAging atlas mapped 3,455 aging genes in human ovaries and found mTOR hyperactivity as the dominant ovary-specific aging pathway. Rapamycin inhibits mTOR. The biology lined up.
Why everyone should care:
-> Women live ~5 years longer but spend 25% more of their lives in poor health.
-> The 290 genetic loci controlling menopause timing sit in DNA repair pathways that govern aging itself (Ruth et al., @Nature 2021).
-> Early menopause predicts accelerated biological aging.
-> Menopause timing isn't just a fertility marker. It's a longevity biomarker.
In November, the FDA reversed two decades of hormone therapy warnings. The science caught up.
We excluded women from aging studies until 2016. The fastest-aging organ in the human body was in women the entire time.
