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.

Review Description
Stem cell-based therapies offer numerous potentials to repair damaged or defective organs. The therapeutic outcomes of human studies, however, fall far short from what is expected. Enhancing stem cells local density and longevity would possibly maximize their healing potential. One promising strategy is to administer stem cells via injectable hydrogels. However, stem cells differentiation process is a delicate matter which is easily affected by various factors such as their interaction with their surrounding materials. Among various biomaterial options for hydrogels' production, hyaluronic acid (HA) has shown great promise. HA is a naturally occurring biological macromolecule, a polysaccharide of large molecular weight which is involved in cell proliferation, cell migration, angiogenesis, fetal development, and tissue function. In the current study we will discuss the applications, prospects, and challenges of HA-based hydrogels in stem cell delivery and fate control.
