Autophagie/Seneszenz

Our cells are constantly recycling cellular garbage. However senescent or zombie cells reach the end of their lifespan but don’t die, instead, they accumulate with age.

Autophagy is the process by which cells cleanse themselves.

Cellular senescence is a Hallmarks of ageing and chronic inflammation and the exhaustion of stem cells are thought to be the most significant consequences of senescence in ageing tissues.
