Transient Receptor Potential channels: A Global Bibliometric analysis From 2012 to 2021

Nobel somatosensations and pain

“…With the advent of rat sensory neuron cultivation, intracellular recording indicated that capsaicin—chemically a vanilloid—activates an ionotropic receptor, a depolarizing, excitatory ion channel which was soon analyzed in detail by patch-clamp techniques and shown to be an unselective cation conductor [ 10 , 182 ]. It is not just the ‘cherry on the cake’ that the capsaicin receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was finally cloned from rodent sensory neurons, employing an elegant search technique, but this achievement released an avalanche of other TRP channel discoveries with today (Nov. 2021) more than 19,000 papers in PubMed [ 188 ]. These penetrate almost all fields of physiology and medicine, including so diverse disciplines as diabetology, cardiology, or oncology.…”

Bibliometric analysis and review of research frontiers on Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 channels

“…Concerning the active journals publishing TRPV4related articles, the Journal of Biological Chemistry (a journal from the United States of America) was the leading journal, with 46 articles published and a total citation number of 5937, followed by Pflugers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, PLoS One and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. Interestingly, the majority of these journals have been listed among the top 10 journals for articles published on TRP channels 15 , indicating that these are some of the most favorable journals for publishing research on the TRP superfamily of cation channels, including TRPV4. These highly influential academic journals are expected to be among the major sources of future articles related to the TRPV4 channel.…”
