Objective: To use bibliometric methods to analyze the research hotspots and future development trends regarding the application of mesenchymal stem cells in peripheral nerve injury and regeneration.
Methods: Articles published from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2023, were meticulously screened using the MeSH terms: TS = ("Mesenchymal stem cells" AND "Peripheral nerve injury") OR TS = ("Mesenchymal stem cells" AND "Peripheral nerve regeneration") within the Web of Science database. The compiled data was then subjected to in-depth analysis with the aid of VOSviewer and Cite Space software, which facilitated the identification of the most productive countries, organizations, authors, and the predominant keywords prevalent within this research domain.
Objective: This study analyzed the current research hotspots and future development trends of the therapeutic effects of microRNA on PNI axonal regeneration through bibliometric methods. Moreover, the current advantages and disadvantages of this field as well as future development prospects are discussed in depth.
Methods: CiteSpace V and VOSviewer were used as bibliometric tools to complete the analysis of the research focus and direction of the published articles.
