Mitophagy and general autophagy are vital cellular cleanup processes that prevent the accumulation of toxic debris and ensure efficient cell function.

“When we have this accumulation of debris in our cells, they don't work as well. They start releasing toxins that impact cells around them. So having this process of autophagy or mphagy in the case of mitochondria is really key to removing that cellular garbage so that we can keep the healthiest poss”
