Clean Up Your Cellular Junk | Mis-Folded Proteins and Autophagy
You ever wonder what your world would be like if it didn’t have a finely tuned sanitation system picking up your waste multiple days a week? Let’s just say, it’d be a bit messier…. and smellier!
There’s also a good chance that the amazing metropolis cities that we’ve built would deteriorate into pure chaos within a few weeks. So it’s a good thing for all of our livelihoods that we have to put the trash out on Tuesdays and recycle on Thursdays.
Here’s the cool part, just like this societal sanitation system plays a critical role in keeping the peace in the outside world, there is an intricate, 24/7 sanitation system keeping the peace in your cellular world.
A system that identifies, fixes, recycles and disposes of cellular machinery that has become dysfunction and dangerous for some reason or another. A system which keeps the cellular chaos at bay, allowing our cellular cities to thrive with the same vigor as your favorite metropolis!
As you can imagine, this is a system we want preforming at a high level for as long as humanly possible, but problem is, our modern day lifestyle norms seem to get in the way, teetering our cellular cities towards alittle more chaos each and every year. That being said, thankfully for us, we have some ways to flip this scrip back towards efficiency.
