Abstract:
Despite magnesium based metal materials are widely used in bone defect repair, there are still various deficiencies, and their properties need to be optimized. Composites synthesized with magnesium based metal as matrix are the research hotspot, and the host immune response after biomaterial implantation is very important for bone binding. By studying the immunoregulation of bone biomaterials, it can regulate the immune response in the process of osteogenesis and create a good local immune microenvironment, which is conducive to biomaterials to reduce inflammatory response and promote good bone binding. This article introduces the osteogenic mechanism of magnesium based metal materials and its regulation on bone immune microenvironment in detail.

The Bone Matrix
The Extracellular Matrix
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...

Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...
