Macrophage polarization plays a crucial role in the development of various diseases.Simultaneously, macrophage polarization is intimately related to lipid metabolism. To assess the emerging trend of lipid metabolism during macrophage polarization, the present study was carried out. CiteSpace was used to describe the emerging trends. 472 publications that explored lipid metabolism during macrophage polarization were gathered using the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC). Between 2013 and 2023, 46 countries/regions involving 268 institutions carried out studies in this field. The largest number of publications was found in China. Additionally, the most recent burst keywords included "immunometabolism," "foam cell formation," and "pathway," which represented the current frontiers of research. In summary, the scientific output, teamwork, and research hotspots of lipid metabolism during macrophage polarization are thoroughly analyzed in this study.
Keywords: bibliometric analysis, Macrophage polarization, Lipid Metabolism, Tumor Microenvironment, Atherosclerosis
