Abstract In this study, chitosan, polydopamine and polydopamine/chitosan coatings were coated on AZ61L magnesium by dip coating process. Thus, the surface characteristics, wettability and in vitro biological properties including bacteria and cell behavior of chitosan (Mg-C), polydopamine (Mg-D), polydopamine/chitosan (Mg-C-D) layers fabricated on AZ61L alloy were investigated in this work.

1 Introduction Cancer is still a major global public health challenge as the second-leading cause of death, with far-reaching repercussions not only for individuals but also for their families and communities (Siegel et al. 2024).

1 Introduction Bone, as one of the regenerable tissues in living bodies, involves a series of complex regulatory processes for its development, thus optimizing bone defect repair and functional recovery (Salhotra et al., 2020). Some trauma and disease can cause a certain degree of very large bone defects for the body to make a complete recovery through the self-generated repair mechanisms of bone tissue (Dimitriou et al., 2011; El-Rashidy et al., 2017).
