Cellular Housekeeping Phase

Meaning

The Cellular Housekeeping Phase clinically describes the nocturnal period of rest during which essential cellular maintenance, repair, and recycling processes are predominantly and rhythmically activated. This crucial restorative phase encompasses fundamental activities such as precise DNA repair, the synthesis of new proteins, and the systematic clearance of damaged organelles and misfolded proteins via the process of autophagy. It is a fundamental, circadian-regulated component of tissue regeneration, cellular quality control, and long-term organismal longevity.
