Research Abstract

In murine iPS cells, we identified the Flk-1(+) cells as the hemoangiogenic progenitors, "hemangioblasts", differentiated mature erythrocytes and analyzed their functions. We also established a neutrophil differentiation system from human iPS cells. The iPS cell-derived neutrophils were equipped with morphological and functional characteristics of mature neutrophils and traced the differentiation process similar to bone marrow hematopoiesis.
