Autophagy is a cellular process that involves the degradation and recycling of cellular components to maintain cellular homeostasis. Phagophores are double-membrane structures that form the initial step in autophagy. As organisms age, the efficiency of autophagy tends to decline, leading to the accumulation of damaged cellular components and declines in cell function.
