Portuguese term

arcabouços

Portuguese to English Science Science (general) terminology
This is a scientific research paper on regenerative effects of stem cell treatment on defective bone tissue etc.
This word 'arcabouços' keeps croping up, initially I thought it meant structure or something, like cellular structure, but many times they just refer to it as 'arcabouços' like as a noun.
Skeleton, chest, it seems to have many obscure meanings but none that really fit the contextm unless they refering to 'bone structure"?????

Context in full:-

investigaram os efeitos do PRP obtidos de coelhos quando associados a arcabouços de colágeno biodegradável para o tratamento de defeitos osteocondrais.

2 +4 scaffolds

liz askew Jan 31, 2012:
Hello Andrew, if you are torn, then you could do some research with both terms in your context and see the results. I know for sure though that this = scaffolds. But don't let me persuade you:)
Andrew Hunt (asker) Jan 30, 2012:
thank you both your excellent feedback and research.
I am now torn between SCAFOLDS and FRAMEWORK!
Thank you both.

In this case structures would also work, but a standard translation of arcabouços is frameworks
Peer comment(s):

neutral liz askew : this is not standard though, and refers specifically to medicine

neutral Daniel Tavares : Although the word "arcabouço" can be correctly translated to "framework", in this context, the most apropriate word seems to be "scafold".
