• Design and characterizations of novel biodegradable ternary Zn-based alloys with IIA nutrient alloying elements Mg, Ca and Sr (2015, background): “Moreover, the rats’ arteries appeared healthy when the wires were removed, with tissue firmly grasping the implant [8].”
• Recent advances on the development of magnesium alloys for biodegradable implants. (2014, background): “Although polymers are dominant in the current medical market, Mg-based [4–6], Fe-based [7–9] and Zn-based alloys [10,11] have been proposed as better biodegradable matertials for load-bearing applications due to their superior combination of strength and ductility over polymers.”
