Title of Invention METHOD FOR PREDICTING DIFFERENTIATION POTENCY OF iPS CELLS IN CARTILAGE CELLS USING GENE EXPRESSION PROFILES
Abstract

Provided is a method for predicting the differentiation potency of undifferentiated iPS cells into cartilage cells using indices of the increase and the decrease, respectively, in the expression levels of marker genes defined as genes that increase and those defined as genes that decrease in the undifferentiated iPS cells having said potency.
