Incorporating Copper to Biodegradable Magnesium Alloy Vascular Stents via a Cu(II)‐Eluting Coating for Synergistic Enhancement in Prolonged Durability and Rapid Re‐Endothelialization (Adv. Funct. Mater. 47/2022)

Abstract

Next‐Generation Biodegradable Vascular Stents In article number 2205634, Jia Pei, Guang‐Yin Yuan, Jin‐Yun Tan and co‐workers report a copper‐incorporated, catechol‐based coating system on biodegradable magnesium‐alloy vascular stents to achieve reinforced stent structural durability, meanwhile, allowing for controlled local release of Mg(II) and Cu(II) to trigger synergistic bioeffect on rapid re‐endothelialization and alleviated neointima hyperplasia, bringing one step closer to the deployment of next‐generation biodegradable stents.
