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
Accumulating evidence indicates that Reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK), a membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase regulator, plays crucial roles in mammalian development and tumor suppression. Its mechanisms of action at the single cell level, however, remain largely unknown. In mouse fibroblasts, RECK is abundant around the perinuclear region, membrane ruffles and cell surface. Cells lacking Reck show decreased spreading, ambiguous anterior-posterior (AP) polarity, and increased speed and decreased directional persistence in migration; these characteristics are also found in transformed fibroblasts and fibrosarcoma cells with low RECK expression. RECK-deficient cells fail to form discrete focal adhesions, have increased levels of GTP-bound Rac1 and Cdc42, and a marked decrease in the level of detyrosinated tubulin, a hallmark of stabilized microtubules. RECK-deficient cells also show elevated gelatinolytic activity and decreased fibronectin fibrils. The phenotype of RECK-deficient cells is largely suppressed when the cells are plated on fibronectin-coated substrates. These findings suggest that RECK regulates pericellular extracellular matrix degradation, thereby allowing the cells to form proper cell-substrate adhesions and to maintain AP polarity during migration; this mechanism is compromised in malignant cells. © 2009 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved.
