TL;DR: The currently available bone grafts and bone substitutes as well as the biological and bio-inorganic factors for the treatments of bone defect are reviewed.

TL;DR: An overview of the design of ideal biomimetic porous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering is presented, and concepts and techniques including the production of a hierarchical structure on both the macro- and nano-scales, the adjustment of biomechanical properties through structural alignment and chemical components, and the control of the biodegradability of the scaffold and its by-products are discussed.

TL;DR: In vivo results show that release of Ag+ and Zn2+ stimulates the immune function to produce a large number of white blood cells and neutrophils (2-4 times more than the control), thereby producing the synergistic antibacterial effects and accelerated wound healing.

TL;DR: A new approach to control the corrosion rate is adopted by coating a controllable polymeric membrane fabricated by polycaprolactone and dichloromethane onto magnesium alloys, in which the pore size was controlled during the manufacturing process.

TL;DR: A red‐phosphorus–IR780–arginine–glycine–aspartic‐acid–cysteine coated on titanium bone implants can improve the cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation and reaches an antibacterial efficiency of 96.2% in vivo with 10 min of irradiation at 50 °C.
