The role of astrocytes in Alzheimer's disease: a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive decline and memory loss. Recent research underscores the crucial role of astrocytes in AD. This study reviews research trends and contributions on astrocytes in AD from 2000 to 2024, shedding light on the evolving research landscape.

Methods

We conducted a bibliometric analysis using data from the Web of Science Core Collection, covering publications from January 1, 2000, to July 6, 2024, on "Alzheimer's disease" and "astrocytes." We identified 5,252 relevant English articles and reviews. For data visualization and analysis, we used VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix," examining collaboration networks, co-citation networks, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution.
