METHOD FOR INDUCTION OF CELL DIFFERENTIATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method for inducing differentiation of an ES cell or an iPS cell, which can induce the differentiation of an ES cell or an iPS cell into an endoderm system without requiring the use of any supporting cell.SOLUTION: There is disclosed the method for inducing the differentiation of an ES cell or an iPS cell into a pancreatic or hepatic cell, which comprises culturing a mammal-derived ES cell or iPS cell on a biosynthetic basal membrane culture substrate in the presence of a growth factor.
