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
Cell polarity is essential for unicellular and multicellular stages of Dictyostelium development. Chemotaxis during early development requires each cell to rapidly reorganize its cytoskeleton to point towards a source of cAMP. This involves a balance between local induction of F-actin polymerization and suppression of pseudopods that point in other directions. Both the lipid phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5) trisphosphate and the soluble signal cGMP have been implicated in these processes, in addition to conserved and novel proteins. During later development cells adopt newly discovered, alternative modes of movement and interact through adhesion molecules. Finally, cells polarize secretion to particular regions of their surface.
