Research progress of exosome-hydrogel between 2013 and 2023 from the perspective of bibliometrics.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Exosomes, particularly those derived from mesenchymal stem cells, play an important role in treating and diagnosing various diseases. Hydrogels have been demonstrated to be suitable materials for encapsulating exosomes to preserve their biological activity and enable controlled release. Recently, the incorporation of exosomes into hydrogels has emerged as an important research field. This study aims to reveal trends and hotspots of exosome-hydrogel research results over the last 10 years.

Materials and methods

Publications about exosome-hydrogel between 2013 and 2023 were searched from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer (version 1.6.18), CiteSpace (version 6.2.R2), the R package "bibliometric" (version 3.2.1), and Scimago Graphica were employed for fu
