Immortality[edit]

Hello @Wes sideman: What part do you think is not supported? Luckycorpse Elmidae — Invasive Spices (talk) 14:48, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"most notably in the lab of Shin Kubota from Kyoto University". I would not be opposed to a reworded version of the text. Wes sideman (talk) 14:52, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, turns out this is actually covered with specific reference to this lab, down in section "Culturing". See this ref [1]. My bad! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:00, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. With only one secondary source, from 2017, I don't believe it should be in the lead. The section it's currently in is plenty. Wes sideman (talk) 16:07, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is likely to be the most interesting facet of this organism. I agree about Kubota in the lede however. Invasive Spices (talk) 17:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
