Cultured cells are infused in a biodegradable or non-biodegradable scaffold, which may be implanted directly in the patient, or may be placed in a bioreactor (in-vitro) to allow the cells to proliferate before the tissue is implanted in the patient. Alternatively, the cell-seeded scaffold may be directly implanted, in which case the patient's body acts as an in-vivo bioreactor. Once implanted, in-vivo cellular proliferation and, in the case of absorbable scaffolds, concomitant bio-absorption of the scaffold, proceeds. 3, record 3, English, - scaffold
