Abstract
Provided are a method of culturing pluripotent stem cells in the presence of a decidua-derived cell or an extracellular matrix derived from the cell, that enables safe and efficient maintenance culture and derivation of pluripotent stem cells; a culture agent for pluripotent stem cells, that comprises a decidua-derived cell or an extracellular matrix derived from the cell; and other means for developing or performing the method.
