Abstract

See full text

A method for inducing the differentiation of stem cells into tissue cells; a bioartificial organ, which contains the tissue cells; and a material for medical purposes, which contains the bioartificial organ are disclosed. Stem cells capable of proliferation, self-replication and differentiation are used and cultured by a hanging-drop method to three-dimensionally construct a cell mass of embryoid bodies, and the cell mass is cultured in the presence of HGF, GDNF, b-FGF, BMP7 and EGF. In this manner, the stem cells can be differentiated into tissue cells. A bioartificial organ can be produced using cells that have been differentiated into the tissue cells. Further, a material for medical purposes can be provided.
