Title of Invention METHOD FOR INDUCING DIFFERENTIATION OF PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS INTO SOMATIC CELLS
Abstract

Provided is a method for inducing differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into somatic cells using a medium containing a heparin binding growth factor, wherein the method conprises a step of contacting the PSCs with a conjugate comprising a laminin E8 fragment linked with a fragment containing a growth factor-binding site of heparan sulfate proteoglycan.
