Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Amniotic fluid-derived stem (AFS) cells are an attractive cell source for applications in regenerative medicine due to their proliferation capacity, multipotency, immunomodulatory activity, and lack of significant immunogenicity. In addition, they have the ability to modulate inflammatory responses and secrete therapeutic cytokines. Because of these characteristics, AFS cells have been explored for treatments in wound healing and skin regeneration. Studies show that AFS cells are effective in accelerating wound healing in skin in fetal environments, and more recently in adult wounds. Evidence indicates that delivered cells are often transient, not permanently integrating into the final skin tissue. Instead, they secrete a portfolio of potent growth factors that are integral to skin regeneration and angiogenesis, suggesting a trophic mechanism of augmenting wound healing. These initial works of research suggest that delivery of AFS cells has potential to be an effective cell therapy for facilitating wound healing and should be further considered for clinical use in excessive skin wounds in human patients.
