The present invention provides a composite material for enhancing or
inducing osteogenesis in a biological organism, comprising A) a
chondrocyte having the potential for hypertrophy, and B) a scaffold that
is biocompatible with the biological organism. The present invention also
provides a method for producing a composite material for enhancing or
inducing osteogenesis in a biological organism, comprising A) providing a
collected chondrocyte having the potential for hypertrophy, and B)
culturing the chondrocyte having the potential for hypertrophy on a
scaffold that is biocompatible with the biological organism.
