Evaluation of my Wikipedia article: Reticular cell

The lead section is fine because it gives readers an idea of what the article is about. There is not much content within the article, and the content already there is not specific enough. I believe that some of the content is incorrect. In one sentence, the author referred to the spleen as a tissue when it is an organ. The tone and balance of the article is fine, since there is a neutral point of view on the topic. There is only one source used for this article, but it would be better if there were multiple scholarly, peer-reviewed articles contributing. The writing quality is not good because I was able to find at least one grammatical error and one spelling error. There are some images present, but there isn't an image of a reticular cell which is what the article is about. There are no ongoing discussions on the talk page between Wikipedia editors. This article is within the scope of WikiProject Anatomy and WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology. It has also been rated as Stub-Class on the project's quality scale. Overall, this article is underdeveloped and has multiple errors. It could use some serious editing, and I think I could make it a lot better than what it is presently.

Lead - Reticular cell
=== Article body - A reticular cell is a type of fibroblast that synthesizes collagen alpha-1 (III) and uses it to produce reticular fibers. The cell surrounds the fibers with its cytoplasm, isolating them from other tissue components and cells. Reticular cells provide structural support, since they produce and maintain the thin networks of fibers that are the framework for most lymphoid organs. Reticular cells are found in many organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and kidneys. They are also found in within tissues, such as lymph nodules. They are different types of reticular cells, including epithelial, mesenchymal, and fibroblastic reticular cells. Fibroblastic reticular cells are involved in directing B cells and T cells to specific regions within tissue whereas epithelial and mesenchymal reticular cells are associated with certain areas of the brain. ===
