@mkaeberlein @Blagosklonny It is an interesting paper and great concept. However, according to the authors, the rapa effect is not on the SASP but on 'preventing' senescence. They even do not mention the SASP as a possible target (no references to the papers demonstrating this as well) /1

@mkaeberlein @Blagosklonny I think we have more evidence that rapa reduces the SASP than it actually blocks senescence induction. Also, maybe being a little bit too picky, there is no demonstration whatsoever that rapa is acting on-target (blocking mTOR). Not sure why a reviewer would not ask such evidence
