Intestinal barrier dysfunction is a hallmark of aging. Zhang and colleagues examine the replenishment of adherens junctions in the intestine of aged Caenorhabditis elegans and discover the role of the SDPN-1–RAB-10 axis in the dysregulated endocytic recycling, offering new insights into the age-dependent impairment of the intestinal barrier.
