Mapping the scientific landscape of mitochondria-associated membranes: a bibliometric insight into emerging frontiers in aging and diseases

This study provides the first integrative, mechanism-oriented bibliometric framework of MAMs research, bridging quantitative publication patterns with underlying biological pathways. Our findings not only delineate the intellectual structure and evolving themes of the field but also generate testable hypotheses implicating MAMs and key regulatory proteins in aging-related processes, thereby offering guidance for future mechanistic and translational studies.
