Mapping the evolving landscape: a bibliometric analysis of macrophages research in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (1990-2025)-a Web of Science Core Collection-based study

Hanzhou Guan, Huaiqing YinChildren’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanxi Medical University and First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University.China Translational PediatricsTransl Pediatr 2026; DOI: 10.21037/tp-2026-0236 AbstractBackground: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a major complication of prematurity, and macrophages are increasingly recognized as important drivers of lung injury and repair. We therefore performed a bibliometric analysis to map research trends, key
