Hello, Biolprof, welcome to the Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject! I noticed you recently added yourself to our Participants' list, and I wanted to welcome you to our project. Here are some ideas on how you can help:: Read our WP Manual of Style, MCB style guide, guide to citing sources and try this citation tool Join in editing our collaboration of the month Have a look at some related projects and resources Improve articles on our worklist If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, don't hesitate to post on the project talk page, or please drop me a note on my talk page. Again, welcome! Boghog (talk) 10:33, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. If you haven't seen this yet, please check out User:Diberri's Wikipedia template filling tool (instructions). Given a PubMed ID, one can quickly produce a full citation that can be copied and pasted into a Wikipedia article. This tool can save you a lot of work and ensure that the citations are displayed in a consistent manner. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 10:33, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Boghog! Wish I had discovered this tool at the beginning of the semester, but am very glad to learn about it now.--Biolprof (talk) 04:43, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I enjoyed meetIng you this past weekend and I wanted to follow up. Wikipedia:Help desk is a place you could leave a question, but probably not a place for an instant answer. I mainly wanted to direct you there because of the box at the very top with various links. On the right there is one called "Live editing help via web chat." This will open up a web interface to freenode. You will have to pick a name you use as a handle, but it need not match anything. Also something I forgot to mention to you, which I think Is something you should at least suggest that your students read, is the new Terms of Use. A self-selected group of editors and staff from the Foundation worked collaboratively to produce this document on a wiki with much disscussion and debate, like some sort of giant, legal-binding Wikipedia article. I personally think it is monument to clarity and ethical dealing that should make the lawyers who write the other existing TOS on the web blush. I know most people the age of your students are beyond blasé about giving away their intellectual property on the web and probaly click through a new TOS every week, but I still feel would easier knowing that projects like yours go beyond the students expectations in this regard. I also just think everyone should read it because it is inspiring! Feel free to contact me on my talk page or by email (I am not on en.WP everyday), if you have any questions about anything.BirgitteSB 00:51, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello! I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm "Bioshtmors" (a rearrangement of thrombosis). I just responded to a post of yours at WP:ENB and I thought I'd say hello! I am glad you are here. As you can tell from my user page here, I'm chiefly interested in medical and health content. I got DVT up to good article status last year and I plan to take it to featured status in the near future. Anyhow, let me know if you have any questions about Wikipedia. FWIW, I've made significant edits to WP:AFSE today, and I just I wanted to stop by and say hello since we have so many shared interests. Please feel free to ask me at my talk page (or here) if you have any questions. Best! Biosthmors (talk) 05:15, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

You sound like a professor I could be willing to support as an ambassador. I supported a Neuroscience class last semester (User:Biosthmors/Intro Neuro). Would you like to talk/have a skype meeting to discuss the possibility? Have you had a chance to read over WP:INSTRUCTORS? Thanks! Biosthmors (talk) 21:31, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks so much for looking around and working on this to ensure things go well. I have something at 11AM Saturday EST, FYI. I'll send you an email. Thanks again! Biosthmors (talk) 20:30, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Actually I forgot to message you again to say I can't email you because you haven't enabled that feature. If you would like to, you could (but it's not required). See Wikipedia:Emailing users. You can change it by logging in and then going to your preferences (at the top of the page, inbetween "sandbox" and "watchlist"). Your email address is not disclosed unless you email someone. So you can receive emails from others without disclosing your email address. If you were wondering. But you can't email another user without disclosing yours. Best! Biosthmors (talk) 03:12, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the helpful feedback you left at the end of the educators training modules. We'll try to get some info up on how much class time should be allotted at each point in the sample syllabus.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:27, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I did post at MCB here, FYI, to potentially attract interested editors. Best. Biosthmors (talk) 20:44, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the reference! I made a minor edit per WP:REFSPACE with this edit, FYI. References go after the punctuation (unless everything that is cited is inside parentheses) and no space. Prothrombin G20210A is a good example of the "proper" format. Thanks! Biosthmors (talk) 03:46, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. I noticed several ways to make minor improvements to this page when doing lecture prep for last Wed, but decided to suggest my students might want to follow up.Biolprof (talk) 16:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

FYI, I left messages at each student's user talk page. Some were simple welcomes, and sometimes I asked questions. Best! Biosthmors (talk) 20:33, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I think I'm pretty committed to working on the SR protein page. Wikipedia rates it as a stub and low-importance, but I still believe it would be a good topic for my wikipedia project. The article is bare bones at best and could really use a lot of help and I've found a bunch of review papers that I think the page could benefit from.

Potential Articles

• SR protein family of splicing factors [1]
• Plant serine/arginine-rich proteins [2]
• SR proteins in vertical integration of gene expression [3]
• The SR protein family [4]

I also did a breif search of PLOS and found a image of SR proteins that I can add to the article. There are no pictures or images on the SR protein page currently.

Even though wikipedia does not rate the SR protein page as high or even mid-importance, the page could be filled out significantly and wikipedia would be better because of it. BreCaitlin (talk) 17:47, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Well it does at least get about 20 views a day minimum! =) See here. Also those rankings have a subjective component and they often aren't updated frequently, FYI. It also depends how active certain WikiProjects are, FWIW. Biosthmors (talk) 18:55, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Signal Transduction of Ubiquitin in Plant Immunity

I was toying with the idea of tying in several areas of molecular bio for this project. More specifically, I was doing some research on signaling in plant immunity to see how ubiquitin works in the signal transduction of their immunology. The page on plant immunity is only rated as a start, and they have a section dedicated to plant defense in signal transduction; yet there are no specific molecules or pathways displayed. However, doing a quick Google search, I pulled several scholarly articles from PubMed, the NCBI, and several Cell Bio journals that could definitely add to this information.

Here are some links:

1. Ubiquitin in Plant Immunity
2. The Plant Cell
3. Plant Immune Signaling

RING finger domain and ubiquitylation function

This topic revolves around a protein domain known as RING finger domain. They play a role in the ubiquitin pathway; especially with cancer pathways, mitosis, and viral infection. This domain is a little more specific than say a broad topic like GPCR or RTK, but it still is general enough to encompass several areas of research and integration of topics. The wikipedia page I found on it lists it as a start-class, so it has a lot of room for development.

Here are some links:

1. Ubiquitin Conformation Control
2. Mitotic Stress Pathway
3. RING Domain
4. RING-finger Antiviral Activity

Signaling in Heat Shock Proteins

Trying to pick a broad topic, I thought that maybe HSP would be an interesting thing to play around with. Wikipedia says that the page is a start-class, and it is of mid importance (which I agree with). However, there is much more information that could be added to this field--especially the fact that the HSP are involved in several modes of signaling. Topics relating the types of signaling and functions they serve in cells (both animal and plant) may be an interesting subject to explore for Wikipedia as well as the class lecture.

Here are some links:

1. Signal Transduction and Heat Shock Transcription
2. Calmodulin and Heat Shock Signal Transduction
3. Heat Shock Transduction in Arabidopsis
4. Heat Shock Proteins and Apoptosis Signaling
5. Heat Shock Protein and the Immune Response

Let me know what you think when you get the chance. . . I know I'll talk to you more outside of class, but I think I'd be interested in trying to incorporate as much as I can with not only ubiquitin, but something involving aspects of immunology. But again, we can discuss this in your office. MChapman5 (talk) 07:44, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

I see over at the course page you're signed up for plant disease resistance. Does that mean you're done considering all of this? Biosthmors (talk) 21:25, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

As you know, I'd like to focus on glutathione's contribution to the world of signal transduction. To that end, I've identified three potential articles to edit for my project: Glutathione, Glutathione S-transferase, and Bacterial glutathione transferase (in descending order of class, from B-class to none at all; they are all ranked as being of low importance). I think the most useful to the community and the scope of our project would be Glutathione S-transferase; Glutathione is too broad and already filled with information not relevant to our class, while Bacterial glutathione transferase is too narrow and still not wholly relevant. Below are some journal articles that have already proven to be useful references and address the topics of the aforementioned candidate articles:

[5] Apoptosis and glutathione: beyond an antioxidant

[6] Glutathione depletion is necessary for apoptosis in lymphoid cells independent of reactive oxygen species formation.

[7] Glutathione transferases: a structural perspective

[8] Role of glutathione in cancer pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions.

[9] The central role of glutathione in the pathophysiology of human diseases.

[10] Glutathione transferases as mediators of signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and cell death

Your proposal got over 11,000 views in the past 30 days. I like that! Biosthmors (talk) 21:28, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

My vision for a project would be to work with something I am already somewhat familiar with and to further enhance my knowledge on a broader scale. Due to this I have decided to work with Adhesion-GPCRs and then add to other topics that relate to it as well. I am open to any suggestions and changes that need to be made.

Adhesion-GPCRs There is a lot of empty space and plenty of areas where information can be added. I would like to also combine it with the following three links. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22333914

Crosstalk (biology) I would like to add more about GPCRs here. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/jessenmirsky/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Glia-2011-Arthur-Farraj.pdf

GPR126 Add details about this adhesion GPCR. http://dev.biologists.org/content/138/13/2673.long http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2856697/?tool=pubmed

ErbB Add more details about this Receptor Tyrosine Kinase pathway. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20832498 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3267053/

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hakkinen2013 (talk • contribs) 01:24, 5 February 2013 (UTC) 

Hmmm.... Adhesion-GPCRs looks like a WP:Content fork off of G protein-coupled receptor that only gets a few views a day. Maybe it should be a stand-alone article, but it certainly isn't incorporated into G protein-coupled receptor in accordance with WP:SS. Biosthmors (talk) 21:43, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

These are my potential articles for this assignment in my Signal Transduction course and my reasoning for my choices. I based most of my choices off of the research with which I am currently helping. This research involves working to produce vaccines for antigens specific to breast cancer cells. If you have any suggestions in relation to these articles, I am more than willing to take your recommendations or criticism. Thank you for your consideration.

I like the idea of improving Wnt signaling pathway. It received over 20,000 views in that last 30 days.[11] Biosthmors (talk) 21:47, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dr. Ogilvie. I learned the general mTOR pathway in a physiology class, and thought it was interesting in its implications for cancer, aging, Alzheimer's disease, and life expectancy to name a few. I looked at the wikipedia page regarding mTOR and found that there was tremendous potential for improving knowledge about this topic. It seems that somebody has already put in some effort in regards to its implications with Alzheimer's but other areas seem to have only general knowledge regarding the signaling of this protein. The article seems to not yet have a rating on the Cell Signaling scale, but is considered a start class article of middle importance on the Molecular and Cell Biology scale. Here are some articles regarding mTOR.

Akt-dependent and independent mechanisms of mTOR regulation in cancer.[12]

mTOR signalling: the molecular interface connecting metabolic stress, aging and cardiovascular diseases. [13]

Mammalian target of rapamycin as a rational therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment. [14]

Potential anti-aging agents suppress the level of constitutive mTOR- and DNA damage- signaling. [15]

mTOR in aging, metabolism, and cancer. [16]

FYI, mTORC1 and mTORC2 were both created on Feb. 2nd by User:Boghog (per discussion here) and please sign your talk page posts per WP:CHEAT. Thanks! Biosthmors (talk) 21:59, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

1. RISC: an important pathway in RNA interference which seems to have a very under developed wiki page
2. non-coding RNA: in plants, the companion cells of male and female gametes are involved in a pathway to methylate and silence potentially dangerous transposons.
3. Oncogene: some small, non-coding RNAs may also be oncogenic.
4. MicroRNA: miRNA may have a role in cell to cell signaling.

Maximus155 (talk) 06:30, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Instead of using User:Biolprof/Signal Transduction Spring 2013 Revisions it might be easier to just leave invisible editing notes (example: <!-- Revise to say X, Y, and Z-->) into User:Biolprof/Signal Transduction Spring 2013 for next time. Biosthmors (talk) 17:40, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Biolprof, remember me? I helped run these classes, and we collaborated a bit on producing the course pages, before last Spring semester started. I'm very curious how your semester went. I'm going to invite your OA, my professor, and our other OA here to chat and compare notes, if it is okay with you (maybe there's a better place?). Klortho (talk) 01:25, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I saw the bat-signal and came over here to talk...I have a LOT of thoughts about this past semester and think perhaps they might be better expressed in a Skype call or some other vocal medium. That's not to say I'm opposed to having a text discussion either here/elsewhere on wiki/via email. Nothing I can't say in public, just would be easier to say with voice and possibly wild hand gestures. Whatever works for the rest of you. :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 01:55, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

User:Klortho, thanks for asking and notifying me. It's an excellent question, of course. (Batsignal to User:Keilana -- last semester I dropped my many thoughts off at User talk:Biosthmors/Intro Neuro. That wording isn't optimal for students, I was just a bit annoyed to deal with so many students making the same mistakes. Maybe you should start a page for you. Of course, also feel free to edit WP:AFSE. I've left a lot of thoughts there too.) Biolprof and I invested a good amount of time working together on the course page User:Biolprof/Signal Transduction Spring 2013 which is transcluded into Education Program:Saint Louis University/Signal Transduction (SP13). All in all, I think it was a very successful classroom assignment. One place for improvement could be more guidance on encyclopedic style/Wikipedia:Make technical articles understandable. I don't mind an email thread. I can email you both. We could also discuss this at WP:ENB. That could be good. Biosthmors (talk) 23:28, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

I like your Dufus' guide. Did you point students to that? Thanks also for the link to WP:FUCK - that was refreshing! Klortho (talk) 02:46, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I should optimize the wording before I point students to it, but I didn't feel a need to point Biolprof's class there. They did a great job of preparing for the course. The other class is a bit large, undergraduates instead of graduate students, and they hadn't had much introduction to operating within Wikipedia. I would definitely want the Fall 2013 version of that class to read a spruced up version. I could even write a quiz on it and ask that the students take it. Biosthmors (talk) 04:08, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

So it seems like a few people want to chat -- let's use email to set up a skype date. I'll email Biolprof, just in case she's not wathching this. Klortho (talk) 01:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I've been traveling the past several days and got back late last night. Overall the semester went very well with many thanks to Biosthmors. I'd like a day or two to get caught up and get my thoughts together. I still haven't read the student evaluations yet. Then I'd be happy to share the experiences via skype or email thread or whatever works. Biolprof (talk) 04:46, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited COPG, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Golgi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi, Dr. O!

I see that you changed my reference. Your formatting does look closer to what references ought to look like, so thank you for fixing that.

I answered your second question. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:22, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I see you may be having some issues with reference formatting e.g. 1. They can be painful. Here are links to a few tools that might help: Help:Citation_tools. I tend to use the "Cite" option at the top of the page I'm editing. From "Templates" select "cite journal", drop a Pubmed ID into the correct field and hit the magnifying glass. All the fields should be automatically filled for you, hit "Insert" and you're done. I hope this helps! --Paul (talk) 22:36, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Paul! I have used that template in the past, but stupidly forgot that clicking the magnifying glass was the secret to filling in the empty fields, so I used the citation expander tool instead, which I had never used before. When it had not automatically completed the citation the next day, I pushed it to the head of the queue, but wasn't sure if it would work. I was also a little confused by the formatting of most of the refs in this article in parentheses instead of superscripts. I found a formatting note somewhere indicating that either is acceptable (which I did not know), but articles should not be mixed. It was late and I was tired and as a less experience editor, I was hoping someone who might be faster and care more might fix it later, or figured I would get back to it eventually. Best, Biolprof (talk) 23:46, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough. I completely understand. The mixed reference formatting explains why the ref you added is #1. Which I thought was odd at the time. Damned if I want to sort that mess out. I can leave that for my esteemed lncRNA colleagues on the other side of the Tasman, or even better, a bot.--Paul (talk) 01:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. 1989 (talk) 02:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
