Recent advances in Fe-based bioresorbable stents: Materials design and biosafety

Biodegradable high-nitrogen iron alloy anastomotic staples: In vitro and in vivo studies

“…Similar to the previous research findings [ 59 ], from the H&E-stained images of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of these two staple groups at 6 months post-implantation, no histopathological changes and accumulation of degradation products were found ( Fig. 7 A).…”

“…The slow degradation rate has become a bottleneck problem that urgently needs to be solved for biodegradable Fe alloys [ 59 ]. In recent years, increasing efforts have been paid to improve the degradation rate of Fe alloys.…”

Remotely Controlled Electrochemical Degradation of Metallic Implants

“…a polymer coating. [ 12,71,72 ] Here, remotely controlled and accelerated biodegradation has the potential to reconcile these diverging requirements and extend the ranges of application for entire classes of slowly degrading materials.…”

“…a polymer coating. [12,71,72] Here, remotely controlled and accelerated biodegradation has the potential to reconcile these diverging requirements and extend the ranges of application for entire classes of slowly degrading materials. For the construction of a smart implant prototype that features remotely activated galvanic corrosion, we processed FeMnC into a shape simulating a typical bone screw [73] through standard metal working (Figure 6A-1, details in Experimental Section).…”

Semiconducting polymer dots for multifunctional integrated nanomedicine carriers

“…Surface modification is a widely utilized technique that enhances the macroscopic morphology, physicochemical properties, or functionality of Pdots through various methods such as coating, chemical bonding, and molecular docking [ 13 , [213] , [214] , [215] ]. This technique finds extensive applications in diverse fields, including industrial manufacturing, materials science, and biomedicine [ [216] , [217] , [218] ].…”
