Mechanical and Biological Properties of Magnesium- and Silicon-Substituted Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds

Magnesium (Mg)- and silicon (Si)-substituted hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds were synthesized using the sponge replica method. The influence of Mg<sup>2+</sup> and SiO<sub>4</sub><sup>4−</sup> ion substitution on the microstructural, mechanical and biological proper...
