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.

Article Description
Living cells exhibit an enormous bandwidth of mechanical and morphological properties that are mainly determined by the cytoskeleton. In metazoan cells this composite network is constituted of three different types of filamentous systems: actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. Keratin-type intermediate filaments are an essential component of epithelial tissues, where they comprise networks of filaments and filament bundles. However, the underlying mechanisms leading to this inherently polymorphic structure remain elusive. Here, we show that keratin filaments form kinetically trapped networks of bundles under near-physiological conditions in vitro. The network structure is determined by the intricate interplay between filament elongation and their lateral association to bundles and clusters. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
