Talk:Insights on nutrient traffic in living cells

What is this? My automatic assumption based on the title was that it had something to do with cellular phones.

I can't find the source that is listed, but I suspect this may be a straight cut and paste from it. --Brianmc 22:14, 22 September 2005 (UTC)


 * This may be the same contributor who started the article: Light stopped for over a second. This story, however, lacks any trackable outside reference to the research. I moved the closing paragraph to the top for making the context of a news story, rather than a research paper :| -Edbrown05 01:12, 23 September 2005 (UTC)


 * The researchers didn't discover that the break down of these proteins causes diseases, that was already known. This study provided new insight on the basic properties of nutrient transport--an important thing to understand when studying diseases and treaments. I changed the order to reflect this.--special_k 16:22, 23 September 2005 (UTC)


 * The paper this story is based on has not been published yet, that's why it's marked as developing. We can add the reference when it's available.


 * You are right about the title, most people will think it's about phones.


 * It wasn't a cut and paste from the paper - a friend of mine read a preprint of the paper and interviewed the authors. I am sure she will include notes about that shortly. But you are right that it reads like a scientific publication. It still needs work to make it engaging and approachable.--BuzzSkyline 14:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Original reporting
Information for this article came from the paper "Dynamics and Spatial Organization of Endosomes in Mammalian Cells" recently accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters and from email correspondance with author Samir Mitragotri. Contact information for Mitragotri will be available with the paper. --special_k 16:22, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Just suggesting, I think that we may have a typo or an ortographic error in :

"...by putting florescent tags, which glow under certain types of light,..."

According to www.dictionary.com, the English word "fluorescent" is used for something that glows. "Florescent", as written, indicates something that flourishes.
