An in vitro mechanism study on the proliferation and pluripotency of human embryonic stems cells in response to magnesium degradation.

Magnesium (Mg) is a promising biodegradable metallic material for applications in cellular/tissue engineering and biomedical implants/devices. To advance clinical translation of Mg-based biomaterials, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of Mg degradation on the proliferation and pluripotency...
