| Abstract |
Recent publications have suggested the existence of germ stem cells in the mouse at postnatal stages. The mechanism of de novo oocyte formation is proposed to involve a contribution from the bone marrow to the germ cell pool, via the bloodstream. Critical examination of the data underpinning these contentious claims is under way from a reproductive biology perspective but little has been said about the nature of this elusive bone marrow population with germ cell potential. Furthermore, whereas the prospect of marrow-derived germ cells may appear propitious for fertility applications, its wider impact on transplantation medicine remains to be considered. This paper examines the evidence leading to the current debate and considers the implications of such findings for the field of bone marrow transplantation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 August 2014.
All research outputs
#4,424,392
of 23,839,820 outputs
Outputs from Cell and Tissue Research
#194
of 2,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#19,578
of 162,272 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cell and Tissue Research
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,839,820 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,279 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 162,272 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
