Can zinc protect cells from the cytotoxic effects of cobalt ions and nanoparticles derived from metal-on-metal joint arthroplasties?
OBJECTIVES: Recently, high failure rates of metal-on-metal (MOM) hip implants have raised concerns of cobalt toxicity. Adverse reactions occur to cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) and cobalt ions (Co(2+)) during wear of MOM hip implants, but the toxic mechanism is not clear. METHODS: To evaluate the prot...
