    TLDR T cells and inflammation are crucial in atherosclerosis, with anti-inflammatory treatments showing promise.
    The bibliometric analysis of T cell and atherosclerosis (AS) research highlighted the significant role of T cells and immune mechanisms in AS, with inflammation being a key focus. The study, based on 4,381 records, identified the USA, China, and Germany as leading contributors, with Harvard University and the University of California System being top institutions. It emphasized the protective role of Foxp3+ Tregs and the potential of anti-inflammatory treatments like canakinumab. The analysis also noted the complexity of AS pathophysiology, the importance of collaboration, and emerging research areas such as B cells and immune checkpoint inhibitors. The study provided insights into research trends and future directions, despite limitations in data coverage.
