Synthesis methods of Mg-based scaffolds and their applications in tissue engineering: A review.

Repair and regeneration of damaged tissues due to disease and accidents have become a severe challenge to tissue engineers and researchers. In recent years, biocompatible metal materials such as stainless steels, cobalt alloys, titanium alloys, tantalum alloys, nitinol, and Mg alloys have been studied for tissue engineering applications; as suitable candidates in orthopedic and dentistry implants. These materials and their alloys are used for load-bearing and physiological roles in biological applications.
