Trends and emerging frontiers of mesenchymal stem cells in intervertebral disc degeneration: a bibliometric analysis (2000–2024)
This bibliometric analysis revealed key research focuses on foundational biological mechanisms, translational applications, and addressing specific challenges in the use of MSC for IVDD. Future research is likely to focus on optimizing MSC functionality, developing cell-free therapies such as extracellular vesicles, and targeting the molecular mechanisms involved in disc degeneration and regeneration.
