Description
Mengshi Hang and colleagues map in 2026 the growing literature on microbes living in the lungs of people with interstitial lung diseases. They used bibliometric tools to chart 295 publications and related clinical trials indexed up to November 2025. Such mapping shows who publishes, where work clusters, and which topics gain ground.
Output rose quickly after 2012, led by China and the United States, with American work drawing more citations and wider collaboration. Topics shifted from exposures and hypersensitivity toward disturbed lung microbe communities, the gut-lung axis, and sequencing methods. The authors call for stronger international teamwork and for turning microbe findings into useful markers and treatments.
