Cover Story: This study focuses on developing magnesium-based biodegradable implants with enhanced bioactivity through surface modification via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with rare earth ions (Eu/Gd nanoparticles). Magnesium's light weight, biocompatibility, and bone-like mechanical properties make it a titanium alternative, particularly in pediatric surgery, due to its natural degradation within the body. However, its high reactivity in physiological environments requires surface modification to reduce biocorrosion. Here, the PEO process was used to successfully create a protective coating, limiting biodegradation and magnesium ion release. Characterization tests showed high hydrophilicity, favorable surface morphology, and excellent biocompatibility, highlighting the potential modified magnesium implants for biomedical applications. View this paper
