In vivo assessment of the host reactions to the biodegradation of the two novel magnesium alloys ZEK100 and AX30 in an animal model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Most studies on biodegradable magnesium implants published recently use magnesium-calcium-alloys or magnesium-aluminum-rare earth-alloys.</p> <p>However, since rare earths are a mixture of elements and their toxicity is u...
