DESCRIPTION:Porous implant surfaces favour bone anchoring. In addition to 
 the capacity to provide space for infiltration\, first by cells and ultima
 tely by osseous tissue and vasculature\, beneficial effects on bone-implan
 t bonding may accrue from fibrous networks which deform in vivo and genera
 te internal stresses/strains within the in-growing bone. This design draws
  on the concepts of strain-regulated bone modeling and remodeling. The pre
 sentation will focus on fibre network materials made of stainless steel an
 d\, in particular\, on some aspects of our recent work on  (a) architectur
 e characterisation\, (b) elastic constants and fracture characteristics an
 d (c) cell responses to different topological and chemical environments.
