Abstract
An object of the present application is to provide a method for inducing the differentiation from pluripotent stem cells, particularly iPS cells and ES cells, into ureteric bud cells. Another object of the present application is to provide a system for producing ureteric bud-like tissue from pluripotent stem cells through each stage of differentiations, i.e. anterior primitive streak cells, anterior intermediate mesoderm cells and Wolffian duct cells. Yet another object of the present application is to provide a method for maintaining ureteric bud-like organoids. Another object of the present application is to provide a method for expansion-culturing ureteric bud-like tip tissue.
