Meet the Golgi Apparatus, the incredibly efficient "post office" located within every one of your cells. This visualization takes you deep inside a human cell at 10,000x magnification to witness the Golgi’s complex shipping and receiving process. While the video mentions "in our DNA," the Golgi actually works closely

🌀 Autophagy is when your Cells Recycle Damaged Material in the body (“self-eating”). It’s your body’s natural recycling system where cells break down and remove old, damaged, or unnecessary components (like proteins, cysts and organelles) to create energy and building blocks for new cell parts, acting as a crucial quality control and survival mechanism, especially during stress, starvation, or infection. 🌀 This process involves forming a membrane “trash bag” (autophagosome) around waste, which
