| Abstract Scope |
A variety of degradable metallic ions e.g. magnesium and zinc has been reported to alter different cellular functions including the transport of potassium and calcium ions, whilst it also modulates signal transduction, energy metabolism and cell proliferation due to the electro-potential change of cell membrane. It was recently reported that the presence of magnesium in the bone system is beneficial to bone growth and play a key role in bone remodeling and skeletal development. In the present study, we aim at reporting the potential mechanism of bone healing stimulated by Mg ions and its clinical applications as well as its bio-hazard. |
