Functionalized layered double hydroxide coatings on biodegradable Zn-Mg alloy enhance osteogenesis via the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

Biodegradable zinc (Zn)-based implants have shown great potential for orthopedic applications. However, excessive Zn2+ release during the degradation of Zn-based implants results in compromised biocompatibility and suboptimal osteogenic activity. Lay…
