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
Background information. Leeches respond to surgical lesions with the same sequence of events as that described for wound healing in vertebrates, where collagen is important for the development of tensions in healing wounds, functioning as an extracellular scaffold for accurate regeneration of the structures disrupted by surgical or traumatic actions. Results. In surgically lesioned leeches, newly synthesized collagen is arranged in hierarchical structures. Fibrils can be packed and shaped to form cords or tubular structures, thus acting as an extracellular scaffold that directs and organizes the outgrowth of new vessels and the migration of immune cells towards lesioned tissues. In these animals, the general architecture of collagen fibrils, generated during tissue regeneration, shows similarities to both the structural pattern of collagen bundles and assembly processes observed in several vertebrate systems (fish scales, amphibian skin and human cornea). Conclusions. The production of extracellular matrix during wound healing in leeches is a surprising example of conservation of an extremely close relationship between the structure and function of molecular structures. It could be hypothesized that collagen structures, characterized not only by a striking structural complexity, but also by multifunctional purposes, are anatomical systems highly conserved throughout evolution.
