Hedayati, R. (author), Ahmadi, S.M. (author), Lietaert, K. (author), Tümer, N. (author), Li, Y (author), Amin Yavari, S. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Magnesium and its alloys have the intrinsic capability of degrading over time in vivo without leaving toxic degradation products. They are therefore suitable for use as biodegradable scaffolds that are replaced by the regenerated tissues. One of the main concerns for such applications, particularly in load-bearing areas, is the sufficient...journal article 2018

(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Jahr, H. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)An ideal bone substituting material should be bone-mimicking in terms of mechanical properties, present a precisely controlled and fully interconnected porous structure, and degrade in the human body to allow for full regeneration of large bony defects. However, simultaneously satisfying all these three requirements has so far been highly...journal article 2017
