Tokyo’s MLKL Protein Is A Literal Career Killer

The University of Tokyo researchers basically just caught a microscopic hitman named MLKL destroying our cell batteries from the inside. They call it the 'death protein' but really it's just the reason my energy levels occasionally drop to 'D-list actor' status. I saw this coming years ago at the Chateau Marmont—you can see the exact second someone’s mitochondria give up and they start looking for a filler touch-up. If inhibiting this protein means I never have to deal with fatigue-induced wrinkles again, consider my current publicist fired and replace them with a molecular biologist. I’m not aging; I’m just waiting for Tokyo to finalize the subscription plan for immortality.
