The RPE provides metabolic support for the photoreceptor cells and also removes old
bits of cellular debris from the tips of the photoreceptor cells as they renew themselves.
The Lymphatic System is a drainage network of fluid, organs and vessels that is responsible for the
removal of cellular debris, large proteins, foreign bodies, pathogenic agents (bacteria, viruses, toxins etc.) and excess fluid from the extracellular spaces.
Some scientists feel that the failure of autophagy to keep pace with the

«Stem cells are involved in tissue regeneration, where there is a high rate of tissue regeneration, there is always heightened

Urine casts are cylindrical microscopic structures
composed of cellular debris and protein that originated from the cells that line the lower portions of the tiny tubes (tubules) that compose much of your dog or cat's kidneys.
