Declining autophagy drives age-related axonal decay through microtubule alterations

This study shows that declining autophagy in aged neurons leads to microtubule alterations, causing axonal and synaptic decay, and that enhancing autophagy can reverse these effects.

Septate junction proteins are required for egg elongation and border cell migration during oogenesis in Drosophila

The paper shows that septate junction proteins are essential for morphogenetic processes during oogenesis in Drosophila, including egg elongation and border cell migration.
