Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) play important roles in plant metabolism and hydraulic balance, respectively, while calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) are important components of cell walls. Although significant amounts of these nutrients are found in wood, relatively little is known on how the wood concentrations of these nutrients are related to other wood traits, or on the factors driving the resorption of these nutrients within stems. We measured wood nutrient (i.

Magnesium (Mg)-based implants have evolved as a promising innovation in orthopedic trauma surgery, with the potential to revolutionize the treatment of bone diseases, including osteoporotic fractures and bone defects. Available clinical studies mostly show excellent patient outcomes of resorbable Mg-based implants, without the need for subsequent implant removal. However, the occurrence of radiolucent zones around Mg-based implants seems to be a noticeable drawback for a more widespread clinical use.

Due to bone loss, implant placement in the posterior mandible is often impossible without prior augentative procedures. The reconstruction of bone defects with horizontal and vertical components using particulated bone grafts requires the placement of a mechanically stable structure for stabilization of the grafting material. Although titanium-reinforced membranes and titanium meshes have been shown to be effective in this indication, the necessity of their removal, often in a separate surgical procedure, is seen as a disadvantage.

Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) were developed as an innovative solution to overcome the limitations of metallic stents. While polymeric BRS initially demonstrated comparable clinical outcomes to drug-eluting stent (DES) in clinical trials, subsequent large-scale studies revealed that patients implanted with polymeric BRS experienced higher rates of scaffold thrombosis (ScT) and target lesion failure compared to those with metallic stents. Resorbable magnesium scaffolds (RMS) have emerged as a promising alternative owing to magnesium's natural degradability and favorable mechanical properties.

Physical exercise has been shown to induce positive reactions in bone healing but next to nothing is known about how it affects the nanostructure, in particular around implants. In this study, we established this link by using small-angle X-ray scattering tensor tomography (SASTT) to investigate nanostructural parameters in 3D such as mineral particle orientation and thickness. As a model system, rat femoral bone with a bio-resorbable implant (ultra-high purity magnesium) was used.
