1. A method for preparing a living cartilage tissue in vitro, comprising culturing cartilage-producing stromal cells inoculated onto a three-dimensional framework in a nutrient medium, so that the stromal cells and connective tissue proteins naturally secreted by the stromal cells attach to and substantially envelope the framework composed of a biocompatible, non-living material formed into a three dimensional structure having interstitial spaces bridged by the stromal cells to form into a three-dimensional cartilage construct.
