Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-Exos) have gained significant attention for their potential in cellular regeneration and functional rehabilitation. Nevertheless, the rapid expansion of research in this field makes it challenging for emerging trends and strategic priorities, potentially impeding scientific advancement. This study employs bibliometric analysis to systematically evaluate the research landscape and highlight pivotal research trajectories of hUCMSC-Exos.
Publications on hUCMSC-Exos from 2012 to 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Quantitative bibliometric analysis was implemented through integrated utilization of VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix analytical tools.
China and its institutions led global publication output, with Qian Hui from Jiangsu University identified as the most prolific author. STEM CELL RESEARCH & THERAPY emerged as a high-impact journal in this domain. Current research predominantly focuses on immunomodulation, regenerative medicine, pharmaceutical delivery systems, and clinical model development. Future research directions are expected to explore angiogenesis, spinal cord injury, and immunomodulation.
This study maps the evolving landscape of hUCMSC-Exos research, emphasizing its applications in regenerative medicine. By synthesizing current and emerging paradigms, these findings provide insights into therapeutic potential, novel mechanisms, and pathways for clinical translation.
