We studied biocompatibility and bioresorption of 3D-printed polylactide and polyglycolide tissue membranes. Ultrasound microscopy and histological examination showed that membranes fabricated of a copolymer of lactic and glycolic acids in a mass ratio of 1:9 are bioresorbed and have good biocompatibility with soft tissues (connective tissue, adipose tissue, and epithelium). An important feature of the copolymer membranes, which differs them from pure polylactide membranes, is the formation of a thin fibrous capsule that did not interfere its destruction by the mechanism of hydrolytic resorption.

Magnesium-based bioresorbable flow diverter for intracranial aneurysms: a pilot study of biocompatibility and bioresorption in a rabbit vascular model.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two types of bioresorbable flow diverters made from a magnesium alloy: bare and PLLA-coated, comparing their bioresorption and biocompatibility in a rabbit vascular model.
- Both types of MgBRFDs were mechanically tested and implanted into rabbits; results showed that while both had good biocompatibility, the PLLA-coated version exhibited better preservation of structure and lower inflammation over time.
- The research concludes that the PLLA-coated MgBRFD is more clinically feasible for human use due to its slower bioresorption rate, allowing for improved performance during the healing process.
Investigation of Mechanical and Corrosion Properties of New Mg-Zn-Ga Amorphous Alloys for Biomedical Applications.

Magnesium alloys are considered as promising materials for use as biodegradable implants due to their biocompatibility and similarity to human bone properties. However, their high corrosion rate in bodily fluids limits their use. To address this issue, amorphization can be used to inhibit microgalvanic corrosion and increase corrosion resistance.

Article Synopsis
- - Several types of airway stents exist for treating central airway obstructions, but an ideal stent that addresses various challenges has yet to be developed.
- - Researchers created a bioresorbable tracheal stent prototype using 3D printing, testing it in rabbits to assess clinical tolerance and biocompatibility, ultimately focusing on improving functionality based on previous issues with similar stents.
- - The most successful prototype, GSP2, demonstrated good tolerance, minimal migration, and acceptable biocompatibility due to its unique helix-shaped surface, paving the way for further studies in larger animal models.

There is increasing interest in using magnesium (Mg) alloy orthopedic devices because of their mechanical properties and bioresorption potential. Concerns related to their rapid degradation have been issued by developing biodegradable micro- and nanostructured coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and limit the release of hydrogen during degradation. This systematic review based on four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science™ and ScienceDirect) aims to present state-of-the-art strategies, approaches and materials used to address the critical factors currently impeding the utilization of Mg alloy devices.
