Abstract: A composite comprising a stem cell; a biodegradable layer, which can provide an environment for the stem cell to grow and to differentiate, and; a N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm), which can polymerize with the biodegradable layer and possess the temperature-responsive character for easy stripping. The present invention further provides a method for treating a patient with a skin defect, consisting of (a) providing said patient with a composite consisting of a N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) layer polymerized with a biodegradable layer containing gelatin and a layer of polypropylene (PP) non-woven, wherein a bone marrow derived mononuclear cell with CD45 negative and glycophorin A negative is cultivating on the biodegradable layer; (b) covering said composite on the skin defect of the patient; and (c) treating the composite with water below 25° C. to strip off the layer of polypropylene (PP) non-woven.

This invention also provides a method of treating a subject with a skin defect by covering the composite of the present invention on the skin defect of the subject in need of such treatment. Furthermore, using this composite with different growth factors, stem cells can be induced to differentiate into skin-related, neuronal cells, neuron, and insulin-positive cells in biodegradable scaffolds as well as transplanted graft. Finally, this invention also provides a quick and convenient method of monitoring cell growth or tissue engineering in an animal.
