    Glossary Autophagy

    natural process where cells recycle their own components

    Autophagy is a natural process in which cells break down and recycle their own components. This helps to remove damaged or unnecessary parts, allowing the cell to maintain its health and function properly. For professionals, it's a crucial mechanism for cellular homeostasis and can be involved in responses to stress, nutrient deprivation, and even in the development of diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration.
