Abstract
Bioactive ceramics, primarily consisting of bioactive glasses, glass-ceramics, calcium orthophosphate ceramics, calcium silicate ceramics and calcium carbonate ceramics, have received great attention in the past decades given their biocompatible nature and excellent bioactivity in stimulating cell proliferation, differentiation and tissue regeneration. Recent studies have tried to combine bioactive ceramics with bioactive ions, polymers, bioactive proteins and other chemicals to improve their mechanical and biological properties, thus rendering them more valid in tissue engineering scaffolds. This review presents the beneficial properties and potential applications of bioactive ceramic-based materials in dentistry, particularly in the repair and regeneration of dental hard tissue, pulp-dentin complex, periodontal tissue and bone tissue. Moreover, greater insights into the mechanisms of bioactive ceramics and the development of ceramic-based materials are provided.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:11216.

Abstract
In this work, we evaluated the influence of a novel hybrid 3D-printed porous composite scaffold based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) microparticles in the process of adhesion, proliferation, and osteoblastic differentiation of multipotent adult human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (ah-BM-MSCs) cultured under basal and osteogenic conditions. The in vitro biological response of ah-BM-MSCs seeded on the scaffolds was evaluated in terms of cytotoxicity, adhesion, and proliferation (AlamarBlue Assay®) after 1, 3, 7, and 14 days of culture. The osteogenic differentiation was assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization (Alizarin Red Solution, ARS), expression of surface markers (CD73, CD90, and CD105), and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) after 7 and 14 days of culture. The scaffolds tested were found to be bioactive and biocompatible, as demonstrated by their effects on cytotoxicity (viability) and extracellular matrix production. The mineralization and ALP assays revealed that osteogenic differentiation increased in the presence of PCL/β-TCP scaffolds. The latter was also confirmed by the gene expression levels of the proteins involved in the ossification process. Our results suggest that similar bio-inspired hybrid composite materials would be excellent candidates for osteoinductive and osteogenic medical-grade scaffolds to support cell proliferation and differentiation for tissue engineering, which warrants future in vivo research.

Calcium silicate accelerates cutaneous wound healing with enhanced re-epithelialization through EGF/EGFR/ERK-mediated promotion of epidermal stem cell functions. BURNS & TRAUMA 2021; 9:tkab029.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal stem cells (hESCs) play an important role in re-epithelialization and thereby in facilitating wound healing, while an effective way to activate hESCs remains to be explored. Calcium silicate (CS) is a form of bioceramic that can alter cell behavior and promote tissue regeneration. Here, we have observed the effect of CS on hESCs and investigated its possible mechanism. METHODS Using a mouse full-thickness skin excision model, we explored the therapeutic effect of CS on wound healing and re-epithelialization. In vitro, hESCs were cultured with diluted CS ion extracts (CSIEs), and the proliferation, migration ability and stemness of hESCs were evaluated. The effects of CS on the epidermal growth factor (EGF), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) signaling pathway were also explored. RESULTS In vivo, CS accelerated wound healing and re-epithelialization. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that CS upregulated cytokeratin 19 and integrin β1 expression, indicating that CS improved hESCs stemness. In vitro studies confirmed that CS improved the biological function of hESCs. And the possible mechanism could be due to the activation of the EGF/EGFR/ERK signaling pathway. CONCLUSION CS can promote re-epithelialization and improve the biological functions of hESCs via activating the EGF/EGFR/ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
In order to provide favorable conditions for bone regeneration, a lot of biomaterials have been developed and evaluated, worldwide. Composite biomaterials have gained notoriety, as they combine desirable properties of each isolated material. Thus, in this research, bone repair capacity of three developed formulations of ceramic scaffolds were evaluated histomorphometrically, after implantation. Scaffolds were based on wollastonite (W) andβ-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) composites in three different ratios (wt.%). ThirtyWistarrats were randomly assigned to three experimental groups: W-20 (20 W/80β-TCP wt.%), W-60 (60 W/40β-TCP wt.%), and W-80 (80 W/20β-TCP wt.%), evaluated by optical microscopy at biological tests after 15 and 45 days of implantation. Throughout the study, the histological results evidenced that the scaffolds remained at the implantation site, were biocompatible and presented osteogenic potential. The percentage of neoformed mineralized tissue was more evident in the W-20 group (51%), at 45 days. The composite of the W-80 group showed more evident biodegradation than the biomaterials of the W-20 and W-60 groups. Thus, it is concluded that the scaffold containing 20 W/80β-TCP (wt.%) promoted more evident bone formation, but all composites evaluated in this study showed notorious bioactivity and promising characteristics for clinical application.

Abstract
The combination of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) with polycaprolactone (PCL) has been considered a promising strategy for designing scaffolds for bone grafting. This study incorporated PCL with commercially available β-TCP (OsteoceraTM) to fabricate an injectable bone substitute and evaluate the effect of PCL on compressive strength and setting time of the hydraulic cement. The mechanical testing was compliant with the ASTM D695 and ASTM C191-13 standards. Results showed that PCL-TCP composite presented a well-defined architecture with uniform pore distribution and a significant increase in compressive strength compared with β-TCP alone. Eighteen rabbits, each with two surgically created bone defects, were treated using the PCL-TCP composites. The composite materials were resorbed and replaced by newly formed bone tissue. Both PCL-TCP and β-TCP demonstrated equivalent clinical effects on osteoconduction property in terms of the percentage of newly formed bone area measured by histomorphometric analysis. PCL-TCP was proven to be as effective as the commercially available β-TCP scaffold (OsteoceraTM).

Abstract
β-Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is a type of bioceramic material which is commonly used for hard tissue repair and famous of its remarkable biocompatibility and osteoconductivity with similar composition to natural bone. However, TCP lacks osteoindcutive properties. Stromal-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α) can promote bone regeneration with excellent osteoinduction effect. In this study, SDF-1α was loaded into TCP to investigate the in vitro effects of SDF-1α on the osteoinductive properties of TCP. In vitro studies showed that SDF-1α/TCP scaffold significantly stimulated the expression of osteopontin and osteocalcin. As to the in vivo studies, the rabbit bone defect model showed that SDF-1α stimulated more new bone formation. In conclusion, SDF-1α/TCP bioceramic scaffolds could further promote bone regeneration compared to pure TCP bioceramics.

Abstract
The 3D printing technology with unique strategies for accurate fabrication of biomaterials in regenerative medicine has been widely applied in bone regeneration. However, the traditional 3D printing scaffolds are only stacked by solid struts without any hollow channel structures, which limits the new bone tissue formation. In this study, a special 3D scaffold with hollow channels and a micro-nano surface was prepared by a modified 3D printing strategy combined with the hydrothermal treatment approach. By regulating the reaction solution of hydrothermal treatment, the micro-nano structures formed on the surface of scaffolds can be successfully controlled. Moreover, the scaffolds have the ability to facilitate the attachment and proliferation of BMSCs after culturing for 1, 3, and 7 days in vitro. Interestingly, the in vivo results demonstrated that the hollow channels and the micro-nano surface present synergistic effects on bone regeneration. They both boost the new bone formation in femur defects in rabbits for 12 weeks after operation. The study demonstrates a 3D scaffold with special surface microstructures and hollow struts that can overcome the shortages of most traditional scaffolds and meanwhile improve the bioactivity of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Spinal fusion cages are commonly used to treat spinal diseases caused by degenerative changes, deformities, and trauma. At present, most of the main clinical spinal fusion cage products are non-degradable and still cause some undesirable side effects, such as the stress shielding phenomenon, interference with postoperative medical imaging, and obvious foreign body sensation in patients. Degradable spinal fusion cages have promising potential with extensive perspectives. The purpose of this study was to fabricate a degradable spinal fusion cage from both polycaprolactone (PCL) and high-proportion beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), using the highly personalised, accurate, and rapid fused deposition modelling 3 D printing technology. PCL and β-TCP were mixed in three different ratios (60:40, 55:45, and 50:50). Both in vitro degradation and cell experiments proved that all cages with the different PCL:β-TCP ratios met the mechanical properties of human cancellous bone while maintaining their structural integrity. The biological activity of the cages improved with higher amounts of the β-TCP content. This study also showed that a spinal fusion cage with high β-TCP content and suitable mechanical properties can be manufactured using extruding rods and appropriate models, providing a new solution for the design of degradable spinal fusion cages.

Abstract
Exploration for ideal bone regeneration materials still remains a hot research topic due to the unmet clinical challenge of large bone defect healing. Bone grafting materials have gradually evolved from single component to multiple-component composite, but their functions during bone healing still only regulate one or two biological processes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel materials with more complex composition, which convey multiple biological functions during bone regeneration. Here, we report an naturally nanostructured ECM based composite scaffold derived from fish air bladder and combined with dicalcium phosphate (DCP) microparticles to form a new type of bone grafting material. The DCP/acellular tissue matrix (DCP/ATM) scaffold demonstrated porous structure with porosity over 65% and great capability of absorbing water and other biologics. In vitro cell culture study showed that DCP/ATM scaffold could better support osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in comparison with DCP/ADC made from acid extracted fish collagen. Moreover, DCP/ATM also demonstrated more potent bone regenerative properties in a rat calvarial defect model, indicating incorporation of ECM based matrix in the scaffolds could better support bone formation. Taken together, this study demonstrates a new avenue toward the development of new type of bone regeneration biomaterial utilizing ECM as its key components.

Abstract
Supplementation of CaP-based bone graft substitutes with bioinorganics such as strontium, zinc or silicon is an interesting approach to increase the biological performance in terms of bone regenerative potential of calcium phosphate (CaP)-based bone substitutes. However, the in vivo efficacy of this approach has not been systematically analyzed, yet. Consequently, we performed a systematic review using the available literature regarding the effect of bioinorganic supplementation in CaP-based biomaterials on new bone formation and material degradation in preclinical animal bone defect models and studied this effect quantitatively by performing a meta-analysis. Additional subgroup analyses were used to study the effect of different bioinorganics, animal model, or phase category of CaP-based biomaterial on bone formation or material degradation. Results show that bioinorganic supplementation increases new bone formation (standardized mean difference [SMD]: 1.43 SD, confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-1.73). Additional subgroup analysis showed that strontium, magnesium and silica significantly enhanced bone formation, while zinc did not have any effect. This effect of bioinorganic supplementation on new bone formation was stronger for DCPD or β-TCP and biphasic CaPs than for HA or α-TCP (p < 0.001). In general, material degradation was slightly hindered by bioinorganic supplementation (mean difference [MD]: 0.84%, CI: 0.01-1.66), with the exception of strontium that significantly enhanced degradation. Overall, bioinorganic supplementation represents an effective approach to enhance the biological performance of CaP-based bone substitutes.

Effects of Nanotopography Regulation and Silicon Doping on Angiogenic and Osteogenic Activities of Hydroxyapatite Coating on Titanium Implant. Int J Nanomedicine 2020; 15:4171-4189. [PMID: 32606671 PMCID: PMC7297339 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s252936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Angiogenic and osteogenic activities are two major problems with biomedical titanium (Ti) and other orthopedic implants used to repair large bone defects. Purpose The aim of this study is to prepare hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on the surface of Ti by using electrochemical deposition (ED), and to evaluate the effects of nanotopography and silicon (Si) doping on the angiogenic and osteogenic activities of the coating in vitro. Materials and Methods HA coating and Si-doped HA (HS) coatings with varying nanotopographies were fabricated using two ED modes, ie, the pulsive current (PC) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods. The coatings were characterized through scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and their in vitro bioactivity and protein adsorption were assessed. Using MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and HUVECs as cell models, the osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities of the coatings were evaluated through in vitro cellular experiments. Results By controlling Si content in ~0.8 wt.%, the coatings resulting from the PC mode (HA-PC and HS-PC) and CV mode (HA-CV and HS-CV) had nanosheet and nanorod topographies, respectively. At lower crystallinity, higher ionic dissolution, smaller contact angle, higher surface roughness, and more negative zeta potential, the HS and PC samples exhibited quicker apatite deposition and higher BSA adsorption capacity. The in vitro cell study showed that Si doping was more favorable for enhancing the viability of the MC3T3-E1 cells, but nanosheet coating increased the area for cell spreading. Of the four coatings, HS-PC with Si doping and nanosheet topography exhibited the best effect in terms of up-regulating the expressions of the osteogenic genes (ALP, Col-I, OSX, OPN and OCN) in the MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, all leach liquors of the surface-coated Ti disks promoted the growth of the HUVECs, and the HS samples played a more significant role in promoting cell migration and tube formation than the HA samples. Of the four leach liquors, only the two HS samples up-regulated NO content and expressions of the angiogenesis-related genes (VEGF, bFGF and eNOS) in the HUVECs, and the HS-PC yielded a better effect. Conclusion The results show that Si doping while regulating the topography of the coating can help enhance the bone regeneration and vascularization of HA-coated Ti implants.

Abstract
Calcium sulfate or plaster of Paris (POP) is considered as a bone cement with a fast degradation rate, which frequently makes it resorb before the bone defect area is completely filled by new bone. The incorporation of tricalcium silicate (C3S) into POP cement has been proven as a feasible approach to reduce the in vitro degradation rate and improve the in vitro bioactivity of the material. However, the in vivo performance of the POP/C3S composite cement is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to assess the biodegradability and osteogenesis of POP/C3S composite cement in comparison with those of POP bone cement. To carry out the in vivo evaluation, POP and POP/C3S cements were implanted into a femoral condyle defect model in rabbits (5 mm diameter × 10 mm length) for 4, 8, and 12 weeks duration. The area of the remaining cement and new bone regeneration in bone defect were investigated and quantitatively measured using radiography, micro-computed tomography, and histological staining. For both cements, no sign of inflammation was observed. POP cement was completely degraded at the 8th week of post-implantation. By contrast, only approximately 50% by volume of POP/C3S composite cement degraded at the 12th week, which allowed a long-term framework for new bone formation. The osteogenic ability of POP/C3S composite cement was significantly superior to that of POP as indicated by the higher mineralization rate and maturity of the newly formed bone around the composite cement. In summary, our findings demonstrated that the in vivo degradation behaviors and osteogenic ability of POP cement could be improved by incorporating C3S in vivo, suggesting that POP/C3S composite cement has potential as a biodegradable cement for bone repair.

Abstract
Bioceramic particulates capable of filling bone defects have gained considerable interest over the last decade. Herein, dual-shell bioceramic microspheres (CaP@CaSi@CaP, CaSi@CaP@CaSi) with adjustable beta-tricalcium phosphate (CaP) and beta-calcium silicate (CaSi) distribution were fabricated using a co-concentric capillary system enabling bone repair via a tailorable biodegradation process. The in vitro results showed the optimal concentration (1/16 of 200 mg/ml) of extracts of dual-shell microspheres could promote bone marrow mesenchymal cell (BMSC) proliferation and enhance the level of ALP activity and Alizarin Red staining. The in vivo bone repair and microsphere biodegradation in calvarial bone defects were compared using micro-computed tomography and histological evaluations. The results indicated the pure CaP microspheres were minimally resorbed at 18 weeks post-operatively and new bone tissue was limited; however, the dual-shell microspheres were appreciably biodegraded with time in accordance with the priority from CaSi to CaP in specific layers. The CaSi@CaP@CaSi group showed a significantly higher ability to promote bone regeneration than the CaP@CaSi@CaP group. This study indicates that the biphasic microspheres with adjustable composition distribution are promising for tailoring material degradation and bone regeneration rate, and such versatile design strategy is thought to fabricate various advanced biomaterials with tailorable biological performances for bone reconstruction.

Abstract
Biomimetic materials have drawn more and more attention in recent years. Regeneration of large bone defects is still a major clinical challenge. In addition, vascularization plays an important role in the process of large bone regeneration and microchannel structure can induce endothelial cells to form rudimentary vasculature. In recent years, 3D printing scaffolds are major materials for large bone defect repair. However, these traditional 3D scaffolds have low porosity and nonchannel structure, which impede angiogenesis and osteogenesis. In this study, inspired by the microstructure of natural plant lotus root, biomimetic materials with lotus root-like structures are successfully prepared via a modified 3D printing strategy. Compared with traditional 3D materials, these biomimetic materials can significantly improve in vitro cell attachment and proliferation as well as promote in vivo osteogenesis, indicating potential application for cell delivery and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Background/purpose β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is an osteoconductive material which has been used for clinical purposes for several years, as is polycaprolactone (PCL), which has already been approved for a number of medical and drug delivery devices. In this study we have incorporated various concentrations of β-TCP into PCL with the aim of developing an injectable, mechanically strong, and biodegradable material which can be used for medical purposes without organic solvents. Materials and methods This study assesses the physical and chemical properties of this material, evaluates the in vitro bioactivity of the PCL/β-TCP composites, and analyzes cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation when using human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Results The results show that weight losses of approximately 5.3%, 12.1%, 18.6%, and 25.2%, were observed for the TCP0, TCP10, TCP30, and TCP50 composites after immersion in simulated body fluid for 12 weeks, respectively, indicating significant differences (P < 0.05). In addition, PCL/β-TCP composites tend to have lower contact angles (47 ± 1.5° and 58 ± 1.7° for TCP50 and TCP30, respectively) than pure PCL (85 ± 1.3°), which are generally more hydrophilic. After 7 days, a significant (22% and 34%, respectively) increase (P < 0.05) in alkaline phosphatase level was measured for TCP30 and TCP50 in comparison with the pure PCL. Conclusion PCL/TCP is biocompatible with hBMSCs. It not only promotes proliferation of hBMSCs but also helps to differentiate reparative hard tissue. We suggest 50% (weight) PCL-containing β-TCP biocomposites as the best choice for hard tissue repair applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the bone regeneration of critical size defects in rabbit calvarias filled with β-TCP doped with silicon. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. Two critical size defects were created in the parietal bones. Three experimental groups were evaluated: Test A (HA/β-TCP granules alone), Test B (HA/β-TCP granules plus 3% silicon), Control (empty defect). The animals were sacrificed at 8 and 12 weeks. Evaluation was performed by μCT analysis and histomorphometry. RESULTS μCT evaluation showed higher volume reduction in Test A group compared with Test B (P < 0.05). The Test B group showed the highest values for cortical closure and bone formation around the particles, followed by Test A and controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this animal study, it can be concluded that HA/β-TCP plus 3% silicon increases bone formation in critical size defects in rabbit calvarias, and the incorporation of 3% silicon reduces the resorption rate of the HA/β-TCP granules.

Abstract
The investigation of the bone regeneration ability, degradation and excretion of the grafts is critical for development and application of the newly developed biomaterials. Herein, the in vivo bone-regeneration, biodegradation and silicon (Si) excretion of the new type calcium silicate (CaSiO3, CS) bioactive ceramics were investigated using rabbit femur defect model, and the results were compared with the traditional β-tricalcium phosphate [β-Ca3(PO4)2, β-TCP] bioceramics. After implantation of the scaffolds in rabbit femur defects for 4, 8 and 12 weeks, the bone regenerative capacity and degradation were evaluated by histomorphometric analysis. While urine and some organs such as kidney, liver, lung and spleen were resected for chemical analysis to determine the excretion of the ionic products from CS implants. The histomorphometric analysis showed that the bioresorption rate of CS was similar to that of β-TCP in femur defect model, while the CS grafts could significantly stimulate bone formation capacity as compared with β-TCP bioceramics (P < 0.05). The chemical analysis results showed that Si concentration in urinary of the CS group was apparently higher than that in control group of β-TCP. However, no significant increase of the Si excretion was found in the organs including kidney, which suggests that the resorbed Si element is harmlessly excreted in soluble form via the urine. The present studies show that the CS ceramics can be used as safe, bioactive and biodegradable materials for hard tissue repair and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
This study investigates the physicochemical and biological effects of traditional Chinese medicines on the β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/calcium silicate (CS) composites of bone cells using human dental pulp cell. CS is an osteoconductive and bioactive material. For this research we have combined β-TCP and CS and check its effectiveness, a series of β-TCP/CS composites with different ratios of Xu Duan (XD) were prepared to make new bioactive and biodegradable biocomposites for bone repair. XD has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years as an antiosteoporosis, tonic and antiaging agent for the therapy of low back pain, traumatic hematoma, threatened abortion and bone fractures. Formation of bone-like apatite, the diametral tensile strength, and weight loss of composites were considered before and after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). In addition, we also examined the effects of XD released from β-TCP/CS composites and in vitro human dental pulp cell (hDPCs) and studied its behavior. The results show the XD-contained paste did not give any demixing when the weight ratio of XD increased to 5-10 % due to the filter-pressing effect during extrusion through the syringe. After immersion in SBF, the microstructure image showed a dense bone-like apatite layer covered on the β-TCP/CS/XD composites. In vitro cell experiments shows that the XD-rich composites promote human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) proliferation and differentiation. However, when the XD quantity in the composite is more than 5 %, the amount of cells and osteogenesis protein of hDPCs were stimulated by XD released from β-TCP/CS composites. The combination of XD in degradation of β-TCP and osteogenesis of CS gives strong reason to believe that these calcium-based composite cements may prove to be promising bone repair materials.

Abstract
Fabrication of mechanically competent bioactive scaffolds is a great challenge in bone tissue engineering. In this paper, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds were successfully fabricated by selective laser sintering combined with furnace sintering. Bioglass 45S5 was introduced in the process as liquid phase in order to improve the mechanical and biological properties. The results showed that sintering of β-TCP with the bioglass revealed some features of liquid phase sintering. The optimum amount of 45S5 was 5 wt %. At this point, the scaffolds were densified without defects. The fracture toughness, compressive strength and stiffness were 1.67 MPam1/2, 21.32 MPa and 264.32 MPa, respectively. Bone like apatite layer was formed and the stimulation for apatite formation was increased with increase in 45S5 content after soaking in simulated body fluid, which indicated that 45S5 could improve the bioactivity. Furthermore, MG-63 cells adhered and spread well, and proliferated with increase in the culture time.

Abstract
A type of specially designed pin model of Mg-Zn alloy was implanted into the full thickness of lesions of New Zealand rabbits’ femoral condyles. The recovery progress, outer surface healing and in vivo degradation were characterized by various methods including radiographs, Micro-CT scan with surface rendering, SEM (scanning electron microscope) with EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis) and so on. The in vivo results suggested that a few but not sufficient bridges for holding force were formed between the bone and the implant if there was a preexisting gap between them. The rapid degradation of the implantation in the condyle would result in the appearance of cavities. Morphological evaluation of the specially designed pins indicated that the cusp was the most vulnerable part during degradation. Furthermore, different implantation sites with distinct components and biological functions can lead to different degradation rates of Mg-Zn alloy. The rate of Mg-Zn alloy decreases in the following order: implantation into soft tissue, less trabecular bone, more trabecular bone, and cortical bone. Because of the complexities of in vivo degradation, it is necessary for the design of biomedical Mg-Zn devices to take into consideration the implantation sites used in clinics.
