Cells deprived of oxygen start digesting themselves in a process called autolysis.

According to researchers, brains tend to decompose quickly after death in a rapid process of autolysis, where enzymes break up the tissue.

How utterly unmechanical a living body is, at least how far it transcends mere mechanics is shown by what the chemists call "autolysis."

Substances rich in the vitamine apparently yield the latter more readily if they have first been subjected to autolysis or if the extracting fluid is acidified.

However, Osborne and Wakeman have produced a method of treating fresh yeast by boiling it with slightly acidified water which seem as efficient as autolysis in the yield produced.
