Endothelialization of Novel Magnesium-Rare Earth Alloys with Fluoride and Collagen Coating
Magnesium (Mg) alloys are promising scaffolds for the next generation of cardiovascular stents because of their better biocompatibility and biodegradation compared to traditional metals. However, insufficient mechanical strength and high degradation rate are still the two main limitations for Mg mat...
