Method for inducing cell death in pluripotent stem cells and differentiated cells other than cardiac myocytes

摘要

Disclosed is a method which can induce cell death in pluripotent stem cells such as embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells and differentiated cells other than cardiac myocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells and does not induce cell death in cardiac myocytes without employing any genetic modification. By adding a substance that is not recognized to have physical toxicity or a cell death-inducing activity to the culture conditions for a pluripotent stem cell or a non-cardiac myocyte, it becomes possible to establish a method for inducing cell death in cells other than cardiac myocytes with extremely high efficiency without employing any genetic modification.
