Abstract: Objective To analyze international research status and research focus of neural stem cells.Methods Using bibliometric analysis,the paper analyzed the international neural stem cells research documents in web of science database by analysis tools such as Thomson Data Analyzer.Research status on neural stem cells was analyzed including the distributions of years,countries,institutions and currently hot topics of international research on neural stem cells were emphatically analyzed.Results Researches on neural stem cells have developed rapidly in the recent 10 years.Main research countries include the America,China,Japan,and European Union etc.The key research topics in the field of international neural stem cells included neural stem cells proliferation,differentiation,gene transcription,gene expression in basic research and research on neural stem cells transplantation therapy including Parkinson' s disease,spinal cord injuries,stroke,Alzheimer disease,Huntington disease etc.Conclusions Neural stem cells research has become a hot topic for international researchers,and inspiriting progress has been made.There are still many issues that need to he further explored.
