I am planning to write about iNKT cells for my article. This page is not as meaty as I anticipated it would be, and after reading the page, I found it difficult to really understand what an iNKT cell truly was. I think it could use more of an overview in the beginning, and it could also touch upon recent immunology research, instead of vaguely alluding to the fact they have a role in the immune system.

Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.
