Chapati, which is basically a thin, African version of naan, is delicious (at least until you're forced to consume six of them by your overbearing...
Rapamycin's life-extending effect has been demonstrated by other researchers in past studies of worms, fruit flies and yeast; the drug appears to interfere with a similar cellular process in those species too. "I think this is a big leap from those invertebrate species to mammals," says Strong, who is also a senior research scientist for the Department of Veteran Affairs.
