Alcohol, aspirin, hot food insect stings, these are a few of their un-fav’rite things.

This age-related muscle wasting can lead to decreased mobility, increased risk of falls, and a lower quality of life for older adults. But what if there was a way to slow down or even prevent this muscle loss? A new study suggests that the key to maintaining youthful muscles may lie within our cells’ own recycling system.
Researchers from the University of Barcelona and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine, have discovered that a protein called TP53INP2 plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle health as we age. This protein acts as a regulator of autophagy, a cellular process that helps clear out damaged components and recycle nutrients. Think of autophagy as your body’s internal housekeeping service, constantly tidying up and removing cellular clutter.
