2012-2022 TRPC6 channel and podocyte research trends: A bibliometric study

Abstract

TRPC6, fully known as transient receptor point cation channel 6, has attracted increasing attention as a member of the TRPC family [1] The results of many studies prove that it is involved in several physiological functions in the kidney [2,3] , in particular, it is expressed as an important ion channel in kidney podocytes and is important for the regulation of calcium homeostasis in podocyte [4,5] . In this review, we hope to analyze the research hotspots and future research directions in the field of TRPC6 and podocytes by using some bibliometric analysis software.
