Engineering Tissues without the Use of a Synthetic Scaffold: A Twenty-Year History of the Self-Assembly Method

Figure 5

Advantages of the reseeding self-assembly technique as compared to the classic technique. The reseeding self-assembly technique allows a reduction in the costs of the reconstructed stroma by 87.5%, a reduction of the labor time needed for technicians by 75.1%, and a reduction of the volume occupied inside cell culture incubators of 65.9%.
