Enhancement of mechanical, corrosion, and biocompatibility properties of zinc alloys through magnesium and neodymium alloying for bone implant applications

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

. Additionally, the Zn-Mg-Nd alloys show good biocompatibility, as evidenced by their favorable interactions with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and murine macrophages (RAW 264.7), and further promote osteogenic differentiation in hBMSCs. Overall, the Zn-Mg-Nd alloy system emerges as a promising candidate for biodegradable orthopedic applications.
