Autophagy is the process by which cells break down and recycle damaged components. It's crucial for maintaining cellular health, especially under stress. With age, autophagy becomes less efficient. This leads to the accumulation of damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and other cellular "junk." Impaired autophagy is particularly problematic in non-dividing cells like neurons, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases. Interestingly, interventions that enhance autophagy, like fasting, show promise in extending healthspan.
