MAFA Article Critique

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Overall, this article is a stub and could use more information to make it complete. The little information present seems accurate and neutral. However, the sentence discussing the inhibitory capacity of MAFA appears to need a citation. I would recommend more sources be added to get a more conclusive variety of information from many viewpoints. I noticed there are quite a few studies done on MAFA that contain results and data. Perhaps asking some questions could help determine what other information should be included in the article. How many processes in the body is MAFA involved in? What areas of a cell or the body does MAFA work? How does MAFA work? Answers to such questions could lead to finding useful information to include. I will include some great articles I found that may prove helpful. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] More detail as to what MAFA exactly is and how it works is also necessary. The information that is present seems very solid. I believe this has potential to be a fairly strong article, once more is added to it.
