Investigation of a cyanine dye assay for the evaluation of the biocompatibility of magnesium alloys by direct and indirect methods

Magnesium and its alloys are promising candidates for a new generation of biodegradable metals in orthopaedic applications due to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical properties that are similar to natural bone. However, direct in vitro assessment of these materials in...
