The progress and development trends on stress granules in the world and China during the past 35 years

Stress granules (SGs) will be produced when the body is under external stimuli, and SGs play an important role in the pathogenesis of more and more diseases. The study on SGs has generally grown to a comprehensive subject in the past 35 years (from 1988 to 2022). The bibliometric analysis was used to comprehensively analyze the progress and development trend of SGs research. The literature output in the field of peritoneal dialysis showed a fluctuating growth in the past 35 years, and the last five years were the peak period of literature output. Journal of virology was the most widely published journal on SGs. And the most common research category was Biochemistry Molecular Biology. No matter in terms of the number of papers, citation frequency, H-index, or the distribution of journals and funding sources, the United States was far away from leading. With the enhancement of economic and scientific research strength, China has gradually carried out research on SGs. However, the citation frequency and H-index of Chinese papers were relatively low. Research cooperation between research institutions was relatively close, but domestic research institutions had less cooperation with relevant international institutions. The cooperation among authors was relatively scattered, and further exchanges and cooperation between scholars were needed for Chinese scholars. There are more and more reports about SGs, but there was still a big gap between China and the United States in the study of SGs.
