| Title of Invention | METHOD FOR PRODUCING OSTEOBLAST CLUSTER USING HUMAN iPS CELLS |
| Abstract | Provided is a method for producing an osteoblast cluster from human iPS cells (hiPSCs), comprising steps of (1) inducing formation of embryoid bodies (EBs) by a non-adhesive culture of hiPSCs, (2) inducing differentiation into mesodermal cells by a non-adhesive culture of EBs obtained in (1), and (3) inducing differentiation into osteoblasts by a non-adhesive culture of the mesodermal cells obtained in (2). |
