One could make a scaffold,

你可以做一个支架
build a tissue around it,

以它为基础构建组织
implant it in the body,

植入到人体内
and then this scaffolding would slowly disappear.

然后这些支架会渐渐消失
What you hope is that as the--

你所希望的是
during the time period when this scaffolding is disappearing

在支架逐渐消失的时间段里
genuine tissue is being formed in its place.

在该处会形成真正的组织
That's an advantage of these materials as well,

这也是这些材料的优势
that because they're polymers we can control,

因为我们能够控制多聚物的性质
to a fairly high degree,

这种控制相当有效
how fast they degrade and what products they degrade into.

就是控制它们的降解速度和降解产物
This shows you an example of tissue engineering

这里给出了一个组织工程的例子
