Visual analysis on the research of monocarboxylate transporters based on CiteSpace.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monocarboxylate transports (MCTs), a family of solute carrier protein, play an important role in maintenance of cellular stability in tumor cells by mediating lactate exchange across membranes. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the knowledge structure, development trend, and research hotspot of MCTs research field systematically and comprehensively.

Methods

Based on the 1526 publications from 2010 to 2020 retrieved from "Web of Science Core Collection" (WoSCC), we visually analyzed the MCTs research in terms of subject category, scientific collaboration network, keywords, and high-frequency literature using CiteSpace.

Results

The number of publications exhibits an upward trend from 2010 to 2020 and the top 5 countries in the MCTs research were the
