摘要

Creating 'smart' biomedical devices with the potential for controlled actuation in vivo has been a long-standing scientific pursuit in therapeutic medicine. The present work focuses on a bone regeneration scaffold based on ferromagnetic fibres designed to induce in vivo modelling of ingrowing periprosthetic bone by the application of an external magnetic field of clinical magnitude. We present the conceptual basis of such a 'magneto-active scaffold', the properties of prime interest and how these properties can be controlled.
