ZnO nanoparticles attenuate polymer-wear-particle induced inflammatory osteolysis by regulating the MEK-ERK-COX-2 axis
Background/Objectives: Advanced thermoplastic materials, such as polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE), have been increasingly used as orthopaedic implant materials. Similar to other implants, PEEK-on-HXLPE prostheses produce debris from polymer wear that may act...
