I'm concerned about the role of mTOR and IGF-1 in tumor growth as discussed in the episode 19. Can we live forever? A conversation about aging with David Sinclair PhD and the clip mTOR and Insulin Insights from the Dr. David Sinclair: The Biology of Slowing & Reversing Aging | Huberman Lab Podcast #52.
