Optimization of dual effects of Mg–1Ca alloys on the behavior of chondrocytes and osteoblasts in vitro

Mg ions can enhance the proliferation and redifferentiation of chondrocytes and the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts at specific concentrations, respectively. However, degradation of Mg alloys at varying degradation rates could lead to complex changes in the surrounding tissue environment,...
