<p>The invention provides a method for producing a biological material comprising reconstituted cartilage tissue, wherein the method comprises isolating chondrocytes from cartilage tissue, contacting a substrate comprised of a continuous, flexible sheet of demineralized natural bone, having a thickness less than about 1.5m, with said chondrocytes, and culturing the chondrocytes on the substrate in growth media to produce a biological material characterized by a continuous layer of cartilage tissue. The invention also provides a biological material made by this method.</p> |
