  1. 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

  2. Hi #ScienceMastodon! I am happy to share the final #ResearchHighlight from Issue 18 of JCS. Song-Kun Shyue and colleagues at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, unravel the upstream protein machinery required for ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of the crucial enzyme cyclooxygenase-2.
