The word autophagy is derived from Greek words âautoâ meaning self and âphagyâ meaning eating. Autophagy is a normal physiological process in the body that deals with destruction of cells in the body.It maintains homeostasis or normal functioning by protein degradation and turnover of the destroyed cell organelles for new cell formation.During cellular stress the process of Autophagy is upscaled and increased.Cellular stress is caused when there is deprivation of nutrients and/or growth factors. Thus Autophagy may provide an alternate source of intracellular building blocks and substrates that may generate energy to enable continuous cell survival.uring cellular stress the process of Autophagy is upscaled and increased.
