A Bibliometric Analysis of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Atherosclerosis

This bibliometric analysis investigates the relationship between endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and atherosclerosis (AS), highlighting it as a significant mechanism in AS development. Analyzing 1,035 records from the Web of Science Core Collection, the study uses tools like CiteSpace and VOSviewer to map research trends and collaborations over the past 20 years. Key research areas include the impact of ERS on AS-related cells, mechanisms promoting AS, and associated diseases and cytokines. Emerging research focuses on vascular calcification, endothelial dysfunction, NLRP3 inflammasome, and heart failure, offering new insights for future research and clinical applications in ERS and AS.
