Abstract excerpt
Mg metal and its alloys have promise as a biocompatible, degradable biomaterials. This work evaluates the potential of in vitro cell culture work with osteoblast-like cells on Mg based materials, and investigates cell differentiation and growth on Mg alloyed with various non-toxic or low-toxicity elements. Mg based substrates support the adhesion, differentiation and growth of stromal cells towards an...
