  Now because this is a synthetic solid material,
  因为这是一种合成固体材料
• 
  
  it maintains its shape even if you put it into water.
  即使将它放入水中 它依然能维持形状
• 
  
  Because it's a porous material, as I showed you before,
  我之前给你们看过 它是一种多孔材料
• 
  
  you could fill this up with cells.
  你可以用细胞来填满它
• 
  
  The experiment that was done here is that these materials,
  这里做的这个实验室就用了这种材料
• 
  
  these porous materials were seeded with cells from cartilage,
  用来自软骨的细胞填充这些多孔材料
• 
  
  and the cells that make up cartilage are called chondrocytes.
  能够形成软骨的细胞叫做软骨细胞
• 
  
  Samples of cartilage were obtained,
  首先从软骨上取样
• 
  
  digested down to individual cells,
  将样品消化为单个细胞
• 
  
  those cells were grown and cultured until you had a lot of them,
  培养并繁殖它们 直到你得到大量细胞
• 
  
  and then cells were put here, put here, put here,
  然后将细胞放在这里 这里 这里
• 
  
  and then they were implanted back into animals.
  将它们植回动物体内
