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
The paper presents the results of statistical evaluation of the changes of cellular apex connections, apical angles, and apical indices of ventral cells of the epiectodermal gastrula of Xenopus during the first four hours after the relaxation of mechanical tension. In the unrelaxed epithelium, an overwhelming majority of cells have three apical connections, apical angles close to 120°, and apical indices around one (isodiametric cells); after relaxation, the number of cells with more than three connections, the number of apical angles deviating substantially from 120°, and the percentage of columnar cells with high apical index increase. Apices with more than three connections tend to gather in enclosed groups, forming a straightened line of cell walls. The length and curvature of cell walls with four apical connections significantly exceeds those same indicators for cells with three apical connections. The observed changes in topology and geometry of cells correspond to reconstructions observed during normal morphogenesis. They are considered in terms of the hyper-restoration model of mechanical tension in relaxed epithelial layers. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
