... that Pseudoceratina is a genus of sponges that are best known for producing a chemical that can help prevent migration of metastatic breast cancer cells? Source: "Subereamolline A as a Potent Breast Cancer Migration, Invasion and Proliferation Inhibitor and Bioactive Dibrominated Alkaloids from the Red Sea Sponge Pseudoceratina arabica"

New enough and long enough. No DYK credits, so no QPQ necessary—welcome to DYK. Hook fact checks out to medical journal (ref 11). No other textual issues. I'm going to suggest a rewording of ALT0 for the promoter's use that reads a bit snappier: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:33, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a ... that the genus of sponges Pseudoceratina produces a chemical that can help prevent migration of metastatic breast cancer cells?

@Telfordk and Sammi Brie: I was going to promote this hook, but I am concerned about the wording. The article and source both identify Pseudoceratina arabica as having the chemical mentioned in the hook, but not all members of this genus. I proposed some ALTs below:

ALT0b ... that a species in the genus of sponges Pseudoceratina produces a chemical that can help prevent migration of metastatic breast cancer cells?
ALT0c ... that the genus of sponges Pseudoceratina includes a species that produces a chemical which helps prevent migration of metastatic breast cancer cells?

Thoughts? Z1720 (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine by me Z1720 but I note that the lead is similarly slightly misleading. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:41, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the wording in the lede. Z1720 (talk) 18:43, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
