Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Neural stem cell - Wikipedia:
 * Article Evaluation:According to the talk page there is a lot of misinformation, though the comment was made in 2012. Also lacks recent sources material. Plenty of the sources are from early 2000s or before 2020. The organization could be altered to accommodate for new information sections. Very little information on certain applications of NSC research and treatment.
 * Sources:Neural stem cell metabolism revisited: a critical role for mitochondria - PubMed (nih.gov):Neural stem cell-derived exosomes and regeneration: cell-free therapeutic strategies for traumatic brain injury - PubMed (nih.gov):Neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles: The light of central nervous system diseases - PubMed (nih.gov):Deciphering Adult Neural Stem Cells with Single-Cell Sequencing - PubMed (nih.gov)

Option 2

 * Article title:Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia
 * Article Evaluation:The lead section provides a concise and important overview of stem cell therapy. Content is missing from multiple sections of this article, not including all of the recent information about stem cell therapy. There are also sources that don't link to anywhere where pages are found. The random information about the European Medicines Agency recommending limbal stem cells makes little sense and has a source link that brings you to a "page not found." This article was a part of a course assignment in 2022 and the talk page has not had any updates since 2012. The article could be more up to date on certain topics as some information is from old sources and there is new information that is missing about stem cell therapy advances and applications in certain diseases. The talk page has described many issues with the article, though the comments are many years old, and some have been fixed. Some sections of the articles have long paragraphs with very little sources. Those sections could benefit from having more recent sources to back them up. As for images and media, the article is severely lacking. There are a total of two images in the article and they provide minimal information about the topic. Though, the article still provides important information about the medical applications of stem cell therapy and provides some history on certain topics.  The organization of the article could also be touched up. Some of the organization in the research section seems random and not well put together. It is also hard to follow. The article has some basic information, but it is underdeveloped for current times.
