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
Umbilical cord blood transplantation is becoming an acceptable alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for patients with malignant diseases. Cord blood differs from bone marrow and peripheral blood progenitors in its immune tolerance and kinetics of engraftment. In this article, we will review the biology of cord blood stem cells and clinical studies of cord blood transplants in pediatric and adult populations. We will also discuss potential uses of cord blood stem cells in regenerative medicine and novel methods for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells. As we learn more about cord blood transplants, there is the potential to overcome the limitations of cord blood transplants so that they can become more widely available. © 2009 Expert Reviews Ltd.
