Nature Communications, Published online: 03 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72683-3 Osteoporotic fractures often heal poorly due to high oxidative stress. Here, the authors develop an intelligent responsive hydrogel coating for magnesium implants that decelerates implant degradation, alleviates oxidative stress, and promotes bone regeneration.
