Our recent bibliometric analysis covering the period from 2000 to 2025 highlights how bdEV research has evolved from a niche area into a globally interconnected and interdisciplinary domain.

Key insights shaping the field:

1. 📈 Accelerated Growth
   After limited activity prior to 2016, bdEV research expanded rapidly from 2018 onward, reaching a peak in publication output in 2024.
2. 🌍 Global Research Landscape
   The United States and China lead this domain. The United States continues to demonstrate strong citation impact, while China has shown remarkable growth and recently surpassed the US in annual publication volume.
3. 🔬 Emerging Hotspots
   The field is increasingly focused on translational applications. bdEVs are being actively investigated as biomarkers and therapeutic vectors for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS, as well as psychiatric conditions including major depressive disorder and schizophrenia.
4. 🏛️ Leading Institutions
   Institutions such as University of California and Johns Hopkins University are among the most influential contributors, driving both productivity and innovation.

The trajectory is clear: a shift from foundational mechanistic studies toward clinically actionable insights, multi-omics integration, and precise biomarker validation.
