Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
The interstitial cells of Cordylophora were destroyed by treating animals with 4,500 Roentgens of x-irradiation. Within 5-6 days after treatment no interstitial cells were detected in the treated animals and they were never seen in later stages. Some cell divisions were noted in the epidermal epithelio-muscular cells of the x-rayed animals which survived for four weeks. This was ample time to perform reaggregation-reconstitution experiments. Isolated, untreated coenosarc formed a mass from which hydranths and stolons arose. X-rayed coenosarc also formed these structures, although regenerative capacity was less than that of normal coenosarc. The number of stolons and hydranths produced decreased with length of time after irradiation. Both normal and x-rayed coenosarc masses exhibited a tendency to form a greater number of hydranths than stolons when the ratio of epidermis to gastrodermis was low and a greater number of stolons when the ratio of epidermis to gastrodermis was high. Masses prepared from the amounts of epidermis and gastrodermis normally found in intact animals produced intermediate numbers of hydranths and stolons. Isolated, untreated epidermis produced a gastrodermal layer from interstitial cells. They migrated to the inner surface of the epidermal epithelio-muscular cells, enlarged and differentiated into typical gastrodermal-digestive cells. These preparations formed hydranths and developed into colonies. X-irradiated epidermis did not form an inner gastrodermal layer but did secrete perisarc on the periphery. In some ćases a second layer of epidermal epithelio-muscular cells was noted on the interior of the x-rayed masses. However, none of the irradiated epidermal masses produced hydranths or stolons or survived to form colonies. Gastrodermis was isolated from normal animals and although the cells rounded up into a spherical mass no morphogenesis occurred and the masses disintegrated within 12-24 hours. Irradiated gastrodermis behaved in the same manner. Normal epidermis was applied to x-rayed gastrodermis and from these preparations normal animals were produced. Normal, untreated gastrodermis combined with x-rayed epidermis yielded viable animals. Interstitial cells appeared to be produced by dedifferentiation of gland cells. The interstitial cells thus formed were able to divide and differentiate into cnidoblasts typical of epidermis. Thus, in Cordylophora both epidermal and gastrodermal cells have the capacity to form cell types characteristic of the reciprocal layer. © 1969 Springer-Verlag.
