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
Introduction. As oral mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have not, to date, been isolated from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients, the aim of this in vitro experiment was to characterize gingival MSCs (SScgMSCs) and granulation tissue MSCs (SScgtMSCs) from SSc and to evaluate their functionality in comparison to healthy MSCs (hMSCs), in normal or hyaluronic acid (HA) culture media. Materials and Methods. Isolated cells were described by immunophenotyping of surface antigen make‐up and by trilineage mesenchymal differentiation capacity. Colony‐Forming Unit‐ Fibroblast (CFU‐F) test and migration potential evaluated MSC functionality. Results. All types of MSCs displayed positivity for the following surface markers: CD29, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD44, and CD79a. These cells did not express CD34, CD45, HL‐DR, and CD14. Isolated MSCs differenti-ated into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondroblasts. The frequency of CFU‐F for SScgtMSCs was significantly lower than that of hMSCs (p = 0.05) and SScgMSCs (p = 0.004) in normal medium, and also markedly lower than that of SScgMSCs (p = 0.09) in HA medium. Following HA exposure, both SScgMSCs and SScgtMSCs migrated significantly less (p = 0.033 and p = 0.005, respectively) than hMSCs. Conclusions. A reduced functionality of MSCs derived from SSc as compared to hMSCs was observed. HA in culture medium appeared to significantly stimulate the migration potential of hMSCs.
