Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and a culture medium which are capable of efficiently inducing the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells such as ES cells and iPS cells into desired cells by a simple means. The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells can be induced by culturing mammal-derived pluripotent stem cells in a differentiation culture medium that does not contain at least one amino acid selected from the group consisting of methionine, leucine, cysteine, tyrosine and arginine. Also provided is a differentiation-inducing culture medium which does not contain at least one amino acid selected from the group consisting of methionine, leucine, cysteine, tyrosine and arginine.
