摘要:
The present invention relates to: a method for inducing differentiation into an epithelial progenitor cell/stem cell population or a corneal epithelial cell population by culturing, under particular conditions, induced pluripotent stem cells induced from mammalian somatic cells or undifferentiated stem cells; an epithelial progenitor cell/stem cell population or a corneal epithelial cell population obtained by the method; and a cell preparation for the treatment of epithelial disease and a cell sheet, which are prepared using these cell populations.
