* Alzheimer's (history)
* Chronic kidney disease (history, abnormal blood kidney panel including serum creatinine\>1.4, eGFR≤60 ml/min/1.73m2)
* Problems with bleeding, on medication that prolongs bleeding time (if subject cannot safely stop prior to biopsy)
* Taking azathioprine (Imuran), cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune), dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexpak), methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall), prednisolone (Orapred, Pediapred, Prelone), prednisone (Sterapred), sirolimus (Rapamune), and tacrolimus (Prograf) or other medications proposed to lower the immune system
* Taking strong or moderate CYP3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (PgP) inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, atazanavir, nefazodone, saquinavir, telithromycin, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, voriconazole, amprenavir, fosamprenavir, aprepitant, erythromycin, fluconazole, verapamil, diltiazem
* Taking strong or moderate CYP3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (PgP) inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, atazanavir, nefazodone, saquinavir, telithromycin, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, voriconazole, amprenavir, fosamprenavir, aprepitant, erythromycin, fluconazole, verapamil, diltiazem
* Taking strong CYP3A4 activators such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital
* Taking daily NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin and others, with the exception of baby aspirin (81mg)
* Subjects who are not willing to restrict the use of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, cannabidiol (CBD) and other foods/substances that are known to inhibit cytochrome P450 and PgP activity and may increase everolimus exposures and should be avoided during treatment
* Subjects who are not willing to restrict the use of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) because it may decrease everolimus exposure unpredictably.
* Subjects who are not willing to avoid blood donations 8 weeks prior to the first visit and 8 weeks after the last visit
* Low white-blood cell count (\<4,000 cell/µL)

* Tobacco or nicotine use
* Allergies to lidocaine, sirolimus, or everolimus
* Subjects currently enrolled in other clinical trials. Subjects may be eligible after a washout period that will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
* Individuals with limited English proficiency
* Subjects who are planning to have elective surgery 12 weeks prior to or during the intervention
