| Abstract |
MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) functions have been linked to cancer progression and chemo- or radiotherapy resistance. While an increasing number of studies have reported a potential role of miR-21 expression in promoting growth of a small population of stem/progenitor cells, knowledge on its role as a regulator of stemness in cancers remains limited. In a previous issue of Stem Cell Research & Therapy, Chung and colleagues provide evidence that miR-21 is highly expressed in stem/progenitor populations of ovarian teratocarcinoma cells and has the potential to mediate growth and self-renewal in cancer stem/progenitor cells. Here we summarize current knowledge on miR-21 functions in human cancers and discuss how this finding provides insight into the role of miR-21 as an oncogenic regulator in stem/progenitor cell populations of human cancers. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 31 July 2014.
All research outputs
#20,233,547
of 22,759,618 outputs
Outputs from Stem Cell Research & Therapy
#2,042
of 2,415 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#173,356
of 197,976 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Stem Cell Research & Therapy
#20
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,759,618 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,415 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 197,976 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
