The present invention relates to a cell induction method, in particular to a method for inducing differentiation of fibroblasts into adipocytes, comprising the following steps: Cultivating the fibroblasts in a culture medium, adding a Myosin inhibitor and BMP4 to the culture medium, and continuously cultivating same until adipocytes are obtained. The present invention further relates to a method for inducing the conversion of fibroblasts into immortalized cells and use thereof. The method comprises the following steps: cultivating the fibroblasts in a culture medium, adding Myosin inhibitor to the culture medium, and continuously cultivating same until immortalized cells are obtained. The present invention further relates to a method for inducing in vitro amplification of hepatocytes. The present invention further relates to use of a Myosin inhibitor, especially (-)-Blebbistatin or (S)-(-)-Blebbistatin, O-Benzoate, and hepatocytes obtained by means of the method for inducing in vitro amplification of hepatocytes, constructing of bioartificial livers, and constructing models of liver disease.
