All of the above.
MACI uses chondrocytes pre-seeded on a collagen scaffold (cells + membrane as one piece), is typically secured with fibrin glue rather than sutures/periosteal patches, and its thinner, preformed membrane allows implantation (often arthroscopically) in sites that were hard to reach with earlier ACI techniques.
