%X The use of metal implants is appropriate for a broad range of applications in bone repair or,substitution. To achieve a better interconnection between bone and implant, bioactive surfaces,are needed, which specifically interact with the surrounding tissue. A promising but so far not,thoroughly investigated approach is the covering of the surface by lipids. By mimicking the,surface to which the cells adhere with a model membrane the artificial character of the implant is,reduced and the implant recognition by the surrounding tissue minimized.
