RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Bibliometric Analysis of Circular RNA Cancer Vaccines and Their Emerging Impact JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 2024.08.31.610618 DO 10.1101/2024.08.31.610618 A1 Das, Uddalak A1 Banerjee, Soupayan A1 Sarkar, Meghna YR 2024 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2024/09/03/2024.08.31.610618.abstract AB Circular RNA (circRNA) vaccines are emerging as a revolutionary strategy in cancer immunotherapy, offering novel mechanisms for inducing robust and durable immune responses. Unlike traditional linear mRNA vaccines, circRNAs exhibit exceptional stability, enhanced translational efficiency, and resistance to exonuclease degradation, making them ideal candidates for vaccine development. Recent studies have shown that circRNA vaccines play an important and specialized role in cancer treatment. However, there are currently no relevant bibliometric studies. This study aimed to apply bibliometrics and scientometrics to summarize the knowledge structure and research hotspots regarding the role of circRNA vaccines in cancer. Publications related to circRNA vaccines in cancer were searched on the Scopus database. VOSviewer and Scopus were used to conduct the analyses. This study summarizes the research trends and development of circRNA vaccines for cancer and also a comparative analysis between mRNA cancer vaccine and circRNA cancer vaccine identifying potential areas of focus, innovation and growth. This information will provide a reference for researchers to studying circRNA vaccines against cancer due to its increasing trends over recent times.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
