1. A method of preparing musculoskeletal stem cells (MSSCs), the method comprising:
culturing cells comprising embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a culture medium composition,
wherein the culture medium composition comprises noggin, LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor), bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor), Wnt signaling activator, ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) signaling inhibitor and TGF-β/activin/nodal signaling inhibitor,
wherein the cells, after the culturing, are MSSCs and exhibit the following characteristics:
positive for nestin (NES);
positive for Pax7;
positive for α-SMA;
negative for LIN28; and
negative for CD90.
