Yamanaka vs Yamanaka factors

Seems like a lot of this article is not about Yamanaka himself but about the chemistry and biology of his research. It would seem pretty clear, to me at least, that there ought to be a separate "Yamanaka Factors" article to deal with the rapidly expanding subject of the research and applications of the Yamanaka Factors, and leave this article to address the man and his career. It is rather odd that a search on Yamanaka Factors, seeking information on the research topic, should redirect to a personal biography. I'm just a peasant, I have no idea how to go about calling for a new article, but the fact that this article is listed above as "Low Importance" in Medicine and PHysiology is utterly absurd, regarding the YF aspect, as this is going to be an absolutely huge subject; for instance Google Scholar currently returns over 8000 references for "Yamanaka FActors". Perhaps a partial fix might be to change the "Yamanaka Factors" search redirect here to the "Induced pluripotent stem cell" article, but it seems from all the material accumulated in this article that that heading might be a bit too narrow, particularly with recent research on using YFs to reverse cell state only partially, ie to just rejuvenate rather than revert to stem form. 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:D861:1087:FDAD:A775 (talk) 08:20, 14 March 2025 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader
