In recent years, keywords identified through bibliometric analysis, such as “sorafenib,” “viral hepatitis,” and “non-alcoholic steatohepatitis,” in conjunction with biological pathways like “IL-17 signaling pathway,” “response to xenobiotic stimulus,” “arachidonic acid metabolism,” and “steroid metabolic process,” as well as “cytochrome P450 metabolism,” have provided important clues for uncovering disease mechanisms. The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is animal viral hepatitis.
