Recently, the regenerative medicine that can regenerate injured tissues and organs are highly expected as a new therapeutic approach. Our project deeply associated with the project for realization of regenerative medicine in trustee business of ministry of education, culture, sports, science and technology.

The aim of our project is to realize eficiant ES/iPS cells proliferation in undifferentiated state and the effective differentiation of ES/iPS cells based on new Artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) and to obtain the differentiated cells safely and easily.
