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
Epithelial cells form organized structures such as tubes and alveoli, the organization of which is controlled by conserved complexes of polarity proteins. Mammary gland development requires extensive epithelial remodeling coordinated with proliferation and apoptosis to generate the highly branched epithelial ductal network that extends into a complex fatty stroma. Mammary epithelial cells dynamically regulate cell polarity during branching morphogenesis, and therefore the mammary gland represents a unique model to understand epithelial remodeling during normal development. Moreover, the mammary gland undergoes extensive remodeling during the progression of breast cancer, which is associated with a loss of apical-basal polarity and epithelial organization. In this chapter, we present the mammary gland as a model to understand unique roles for polarity proteins in epithelial remodeling. We also discuss novel signaling pathways regulated by polarity proteins that function in normal mammary gland development, as well as breast cancer initiation, invasion, and metastasis.
