Biodegradable Zn-Cu-Fe Alloy as a Promising Material for Craniomaxillofacial Implants: An in vitro Investigation into Degradation Behavior, Cytotoxicity, and Hemocompatibility

Zinc-based nanoparticles, nanoscale metal frameworks and metals have been considered as biocompatible materials for bone tissue engineering. Among them, zinc-based metals are recognized as promising biodegradable materials thanks to their moderate degradation rate ranging between magnesium and iron....
