Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a method for preparing mesenchymal stem celllike cells and cardiomyocyte-like cells from induced pluripotent stem cells. With the method, embryoid bodies are first formed from induced pluripotent stem cells in a non-adherent substrate. The embryoid bodies are then contacted with a serum-free and insulin-free medium comprisng a p38-MAPK inhibitor to form aggregates of contracting embryoid bodies. The contracting embryoid body aggregate(s) are then induced to form mesenchymal stem-cell-like cells and aggregates of cardiomyocyte-like stem cells with a medium comprising
