A method for screening for a substance capable of regulating the regeneration, proliferation or differentiation of a cell or an organ, which comprises the steps of: (1) allowing a cell having a regenerative, proliferative or differentiative capability to form an embryoid body; (2) treating the embryoid body produced in step (1) with a digestive enzyme to prepare single cells from the embryoid body; (3) seeding the cells prepared in step (2) onto an adhesive plate, and adding a candidate substance to the plate to perform adhesion culturing of the cells on the plate; (4) conducting quantitative and simultaneous analysis of the levels of expression of at least two types of genes involved in the regeneration, proliferation or differentiation of cells after the adhesion culturing of step (3); and (5) evaluating the influence of the candidate substance on the regeneration, proliferation or differentiation of cells based on the results of the quantitative analysis obtained in step (4).
