The present invention relates to a method for isolating and culturing tissue-resident uPAR+ / Nestin+ stem cells, and a use thereof, and provides a method for isolating, on the basis of uPAR-
plasmin activity, tissue-resident stem cells present in
solid tissues, wherein the uPAR-
plasmin activity of stem cells has been suggested to have a
close relationship with
stem cell growth, migration ability, physiological activity and differentiation ability, and thus can be used in a method for isolating high-
potency stem cells, the uPAR+ stem cells isolated from
solid tissues are applicable to the production of
cell therapeutic agents,
tissue engineering therapeutic agents, and novel biopharmaceuticals using secretions including exosomes, and thus have high industrial applicability, and the present invention is applicable to fundamental
cell biology and
molecular biology research and novel
drug development research that relate to the
cell division, migration, growth, and differentiation of tissue-resident stem cells.
