Happy Monday #ScienceMastodon! Check out this #ResearchHighlight from Issue 19 of JCS featuring some gorgeous images of #Drosophila Malpighian tubules. Julian Dow and colleagues at the University of Glasgow and University of Copenhagen show that disrupting septate junctions in fruit fly renal tubules produces cell- and tissue-level dysfunction similar to that seen in aged flies. #agingbiology #CellBiology
