'''Disabled macroautophagy''' is a [[Hallmarks of Aging|hallmark of aging]] and refers to the impairment or inefficiency of the cellular process known as macroautophagy. Macroautophagy is a critical aspect of the cell's recycling system, responsible for the degradation and recycling of damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and other cellular debris. It involves the formation of autophagosomes, which encapsulate the cellular waste and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the contents. This process is vital for maintaining cellular health and function, particularly under stress conditions or during aging. | '''Disabled macroautophagy''' is a [[Hallmarks of Aging|hallmark of aging]] and refers to the impairment or inefficiency of the cellular process known as macroautophagy.
