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
Embyroid body (EB) formation is a key step in many embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation protocols. The EB mimics the structure of the developing embryo, thereby providing a means of obtaining any cell lineage. Traditionally, the two methods of EB formation are suspension and hanging drop. The suspension method allows ESCs to self-aggregate into EBs in a nonadherent dish. The hanging drop method suspends ESCs on the lid of a dish and EBs form through aggregation at the bottom of the drops. Recently, alternative methods of EB formation have been developed that allow for highly accurate control of EB size and shape, resulting in reproducibly produced homogeneous EBs. This control is potentially useful for directed differentiation, as recent studies have shown that EB size may be a useful determinant of the resulting differentiated cell types. One particular approach to generate homogeneous EBs utilizes nonadhesive microwell structures. The methodology associated with this technique, along with the traditional approaches of suspension and hanging drop, is the focus of this chapter.
