Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this topic since cadherins is an important topic that we need to know. They have different roles in different part of bodies with unique functions. In this article, I hope I can learn a brief of the role of cadherins and how it associates with other molecules.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

The lead section of the article tells briefly about cadherins, and it is straightforward definition for a person who is familiar to this topics. It is a little bit difficult to catch up what the writer was trying to explain since it has a lot of new words such as adherens junctions and intracellular cytoplasmic that needs to look up and read more about those new terms. The contents are related to the topic, and the article is written clearly and concisely. There were no grammatical errors and spelling error. The strength of this article is that the writer is using easy and common words to explain a complicated topic. The weakness is that the writer failed to explain detail for some parts so that the readers can approach easily. For example, the structure section is not very clear, and the picture do not have enough visualization to help through the reading. In development section, more about EMT should be added because it is an important topic, also related to cancer as well. By explaining in detail, it can guide the reader through the correlation to cancer section. Also, figures for the cancer and tumors sections are required. At the end, the superfamily of adhesion proteins were listed, and I think it is unnecessary since it is not directly related to the topic. Instead, the article should focus on types of cadherins. The article is underdeveloped because it gives some information that we want to know, but it leaves some questions because it has gaps between the contents.
