The authors suggested that the loss of collagen IV and laminin-containing basement membrane and the loss of Disabled-2 (Dab2) expression were two critical events associated with morphologic dysplastic changes of the ovarian surface epithelium as a step in tumorigenicity. Both the basement membrane and Dab2, a candidate tumor suppressor of ovarian carcinoma, were involved in epithelial cell surface positioning and organization. The authors speculated that the purging of the basement membrane may be similar to the proteolysis during gonadotropin-stimulated ovulation, a cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2)-mediated process.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 10 February 2014.
All research outputs
#9,598,533
of 34,361,833 outputs
Outputs from Cancer (0008543X)
#8,783
of 18,979 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#52,096
of 199,443 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer (0008543X)
#48
of 100 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,361,833 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 18,979 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% 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 199,443 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 100 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
