[The effects of microenvironment on tissue-engineered osteochondral composite].
It is currently reported that extracellular matrix, biological scaffolds, conditions of stress, nutrients and metabolic waste play very important roles in tissue-engineered osteochondral composite. In this paper, we have made a review of their effects on such composite.
