Cellular Cleansing Process

Meaning

Cellular Cleansing Process is a term used to describe the collective intracellular mechanisms responsible for maintaining cellular integrity and removing damaged or unnecessary components. The most prominent component of this process is autophagy, but it also encompasses the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which degrades individual proteins. This continuous quality control is vital for preventing the accumulation of toxic aggregates and dysfunctional organelles, which are hallmarks of cellular senescence and disease. Effective cellular cleansing is a prerequisite for tissue renewal and healthy aging.
