Insights

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) therapy shows promise for treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients. This bibliometric analysis provides a visual overview of MSC-based research for ARDS, including mechanisms, safety, and efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • * Focuses on the intersection of virology, immunology, and regenerative medicine.
  • * Explores therapeutic strategies for severe respiratory infections and critical care.

Background:

  • * The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, poses a significant global health threat.
  • * Severe COVID-19, particularly ARDS, is associated with high mortality and morbidity.
  • * Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) therapy is emerging as a potential treatment for ARDS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To systematically analyze and visualize the landscape of MSC-based cytotherapy for ARDS.
  • * To identify key research trends, core contributors, and emerging themes in MSC-ARDS research.
  • * To summarize the molecular mechanisms, safety, and efficacy of MSC therapy for ARDS.

Main Methods:

  • * Bibliometric analysis utilizing visualization software.
  • * Analysis of publication trends, core authors, institutions, and keywords related to MSCs and ARDS.
  • * Review of clinical trial data on the safety and efficacy of MSC-based therapy for ARDS.

Main Results:

  • * Provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution and current state of MSC-ARDS research.
  • * Identifies leading authors, institutions, and research hotspots in the field.
  • * Summarizes existing knowledge on molecular mechanisms and clinical outcomes of MSC therapy for ARDS.

Conclusions:

  • * MSC-based therapy represents a promising avenue for managing ARDS, including that associated with COVID-19.
  • * Bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights into the research dynamics and knowledge structure of MSC-ARDS therapy.
  • * Further research and clinical trials are warranted to optimize MSC therapy for ARDS.
