Bibliometric Analysis of the Role of Occludin in the Pathogenesis of Stroke.

Over the past decade, there has been a notable surge in research dedicated to unraveling the intricate role of tight junction proteins in blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage associated with ischemic stroke. This bibliometric analysis explores the expansive landscape of occludin research, a key tight junction protein, during the years 2000-2023, shedding light on the global scientific contributions, collaborations, and emerging trends in this critical area of stroke pathogenesis. China and the United States emerge as significant contributors, underscoring their prominence in advancing our understanding of tight junction proteins.
