A method, according to an embodiment, for evaluating a regenerated cartilage includes allowing a group of cells containing auricular chondrocytes to stand in the presence of a culture medium, subsequently collecting at least a portion of a liquid component from the culture medium, measuring the GFAP content of the collected liquid component, and determining whether a regenerated cartilage that has been obtained or can be obtained from the group of cells is suitable for transplantation based on the GFAP content.
