Cellular Cleansing Mechanism

Meaning

The Cellular Cleansing Mechanism is the collective term for the intrinsic biological processes responsible for the degradation and recycling of damaged or obsolete cellular components, a function essential for maintaining cellular health and preventing dysfunction. Autophagy is the principal mechanism, serving as the cell’s internal quality control system to remove aggregated proteins, dysfunctional mitochondria, and invading pathogens. This ongoing process is vital for the integrity of endocrine cells, ensuring optimal hormone synthesis and receptor sensitivity.
