Autophagy (from the Greek 'self-eating') is the cellular quality control process by which cells identify and remove damaged proteins, dysfunctional organelles (particularly damaged mitochondria — a ...

Every day, our cells must dispose of damaged proteins and other unwanted material to keep themselves functioning properly.

According to cellular biology researchers, human cells continuously use a self-cleaning process called autophagy to recycle ...

Scientists have discovered that the body's cellular recycling system behaves very differently during aging than previously ...

Growing older is inevitable, but what happens inside our cells as we age may be more complicated than scientists once believed. New research reveals a striking difference between men and women: a ...

The intricate biological process known as autophagy plays a vital role in keeping our cells healthy and functioning by sweeping up and recycling bits of debris and invading microorganisms. Until ...

A 2026 collection of five reviews and one small tissue-expression study shows that autophagy can restrain or support solid tumors depending on tumor biology, disease stage and treatment context.

Our immune system has various ways to deal with threats from the outside like pathogens. One of the defence mechanisms is a process called autophagy. 'You can imagine autophagy as the vacuum cleaner ...
