... that an intestine-on-a-chip can model and mimic an actual organ? Source: Pimenta, Joana; Ribeiro, Ricardo; Almeida, Raquel; Costa, Pedro F.; da Silva, Marta A.; Pereira, Bruno (2022).

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: The article was new enough at the time of nomination and seems long enough. It looks good but there are a few lines missing citations and I'm not sure about the tone/prose. It could probably use a little editing to be more neutral, right now it's very editorialized.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure I'd be able to improve the article, being neither an expert on the subject nor having access to the sources, but I will see what I can do. Have a great day!

@
BuySomeApples: Unless I am mistaken, your concerns about the citing have to do with their placement, not the actual sources. I saw a couple of "dangling" paras and had a look. One statement was clearly cited by the previous cite, I have move it. One statement was uncited and seemed to add nothing, so I removed the statement (@
HenryTemplo:, check the history, re-add it if important but it will have to be separated cited and citing a negative is never simple). The remaining example is a section introduction, and thus doesn't need a cite if the topic is covered in the "body" (same logic as the lede) which in this case seems to be the case.

Hi @
User167553210 and
HenryTemplo: there are a couple of sentences in here that appear to be lacking a citation:
"which makes it particularly challenging to model
in vitro" (from the lead - I can't see this exact point made in the body, but correct me if I'm wrong)
"Apart from fluidic flow, other culture parameters are incorporated into intestine-on-a-chip devices, including architectural cues, mechanical stimulation, oxygen gradients and co-cultures with other cell populations and the microbiota, to more accurately display the physiological behaviour of the actual organ"
