Summary: Bioabsorbable metallic vascular stents (BMVSs) are an innovative technological advancement in the medical engineering field of vascular implants. Despite their potential, the lack of understanding of the natural corrosion of construction materials inhibits their clinical use. This study proposes a novel corrosion model to simulate the mechanical integrity of BMVSs.

Summary: Magnesium and its alloys are intensively studied as resorbable implant materials, showing promising results in terms of in vitro degradation behavior. The most appropriate method for evaluating corrosion rates was found to be measuring H-2 development in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium. Surface treatment of thin foils is necessary for controlled degradation, and further detailed tests in bioactivity are of interest.

Summary: The microstructure, mechanical properties, and degradation behavior of Mg95Y3Zn2 (MYZ), Mg95Y3Zn1Cu1 (MYZC), and Mg95Y3Cu2 (MYC) alloys were studied. All alloys consisted of an α-Mg matrix and LPSO phase. By substituting Zn with Cu, the composition of the LPSO phase changed from Mg-Y-Zn to Mg-Y-Zn-Cu, and then to Mg-Y-Cu. The ultimate compressive strength for MYZ, MYZC, and MYC alloys were 227, 231, and 238 MPa, respectively. The MYC alloy exhibited a higher degradation rate due to the galvanic coupling effect, grain size refinement, and weak protection from corrosion product layer. The newly developed MYC alloy shows promise for fracturing ball applications.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Zn doped CaP coatings prepared by micro-arc oxidation method on MgCa1 alloy degradation. The results showed that the addition of Zn into CaP increased the corrosion resistance of MgCa1 alloy and enhanced the adhesion strength of the coatings. All samples exhibited cytocompatibility and the degradation rate of MgCa1 alloy in simulated body fluids (SBF) or DMEM was decreased by coating with CaP, which was further reduced by adding a small amount of Zn. The samples with CaP coatings and Zn doped CaP coating also demonstrated antibacterial efficacy against E.coli.

Summary: This study investigates the biodegradation properties of pure magnesium with different iron contents and surprisingly finds that the iron impurity does not have a negative effect on the degradation of pure magnesium, even when the iron content exceeds the previous tolerance limit. Detailed microstructural analyses reveal that the severe local micro-galvanic corrosion caused by the iron impurity promotes the formation of a compact calcium-rich corrosion product layer, protecting the adjacent magnesium matrix from further corrosion.

Summary: The study evaluated the mechanical performance and biodegradation properties of metallic molybdenum (Mo) as a potential material for biodegradable stents. The results showed favorable mechanical behavior and uniform degradation profile, suggesting Mo as an ideal source material for clinical applications. Mo implants in mouse arteries avoided cellular response and showed minimal neointimal hyperplasia, indicating good biocompatibility. However, potential pathological remodeling and impaired kidney function were observed, suggesting further investigation is needed.

Summary: This study focuses on the corrosion behavior of two Mg-Zn-Ag alloys (Mg7Zn1Ag and Mg6Zn3Ag) and the Mg1Ca alloy. The experimental results show that simulated body fluid solution (SBF) exhibits a more corrosive nature, and alloys with a higher percentage of silver (2.5 wt.%) demonstrate better corrosion resistance. We consider that the magnesium alloy Mg6Zn3Ag has valuable biodegradation characteristics that can be considered as raw materials for manufacturing small trauma implants.

Summary: Magnesium and its alloys are considered promising materials for medical implants due to their biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, the degradation rate of magnesium in aqueous environments is too high for most applications. A study found that hydrophobic textured surfaces can reduce corrosion rates on magnesium, but the specific role of texture and hydrophobic treatments in corrosion rates needs further investigation.

Summary: As a promising approach in translational medicine, the decellularization of discarded livers to produce bioscaffolds that support recellularization has potential in overcoming the limitations of conventional liver transplantation. In this study, the researchers investigated the use of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition to preserve the extracellular matrix (ECM) during liver decellularization. The results demonstrated that the application of an MMP inhibitor significantly improved the preservation of ECM components and mechanical properties of the bioscaffolds, which supported cell viability and function in vitro. The study also confirmed that the MMP inhibition led to the inhibition of MMP2 and MMP9, providing a novel method to enhance ECM preservation during liver decellularization.

Summary: Human skin equivalents (HSEs) play a crucial role in tissue engineering. This study introduces a 3D-printed culture insert to apply a static radial constraint on HSEs and examines its effects on tissue characteristics. The results show that the diameter of the culture insert significantly influences tissue contraction, fibroblast and matrix organization, keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal stratification, and basement membrane formation. This study provides important insights for the design of skin tissue engineering.

Summary: This paper reviewed the primary methods for improving the overall properties of biodegradable zinc stents. It discussed the mechanical properties, degradation behavior, and biocompatibility of various improvement strategies. Alloying was found to be the most common, simple, and effective method for improving mechanical properties. Deformation processing and surface modification further improved the mechanical properties and biological activity of zinc alloys. Meanwhile, structural design could endow stents with special properties. Manufacturing zinc alloys with excellent properties and exploring their interaction mechanism with the human body are areas for future research.
