AUTOPHAGY

Autophagy is a process cells use to collect intracellular proteins, cytoplasm and organelles, and deliver them to lysosomes where they are degraded and recycled. It serves two main functions: protein and organelle quality control as well as cell catabolism. The process involves cells collecting intracellular components and delivering them to lysosomes for degradation and recycling.
