👉 Autophagy is a cellular process in eukaryotic cells, which refers to the recycling of damaged or malfunctioning organelles and components from the cytoplasm into the lysosome. The autophagosomes are internalized (detached) by engulfing bacteria or other debris and then degraded by a process called autophagy. In summary, autophagy is an essential cellular mechanism for maintaining cell homeostasis and recycling of damaged organelles and components from the cytopl
