%X Bio-interfaces such as bio-membranes are of out-most importance for a variety of live processes. Among them are cell-interactions which take place in, on or through cell membranes. Therefore we propose to cover metallic surfaces with phospholipids to facilitate cell-material interaction.,Four lipids, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-choline (POPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phos-phoethanolamine (POPE), 1-palmitoyl-2- oleoyl-sn-glycero-,3-[phospho-L-serine] (POPS) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) (POPG), were applied to four metallic growth substrates with different surface,structure, roughness and porosity. The interaction of the os-,teosarcoma cell line MG-63 was investigated in terms of,cell adhesion and viability (MTT (methylthiazolyldiphenyl-,tetrazolium bromide) assay).
