Radiotherapy is known to be detrimental to bone and soft tissue repair, resulting in a high incidence of devastating wound healing complications by means of cellular and vascular depletion. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have been shown to enhance bone regeneration during distraction osteogenesis (DO) following radiation (XRT). We posit that transplanted BMSCswill significantly augment the mandibular vascularity devastated by XRT therapy as determined by stereological outcome metrics.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 14 June 2015.
All research outputs
#17,757,238
of 27,623,165 outputs
Outputs from Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
#7,336
of 10,940 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#153,419
of 273,731 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
#108
of 170 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,623,165 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,940 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 273,731 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 170 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
