Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury Patients with Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Sharing of Clinical ExperiencesDr. Cheng-Di Chiu is a clinical-scientist and a neurosurgeon of China Medical University and University Hospital. His work mainly focuses on the biological mechanism participated in the formation/progression of hemorrhagic stroke by studying the key cell types and immunological factors which regulate the integrity of blood-brain barrier in early period of injury. He also investigates surgical and interventional approaches used to mitigate symptoms from disc degenerative disease. As a member of CMUH Spine Center, he recently designs and performs MSC-based therapy for sub-acute stage spinal cord injury, which was one of the leading protocol accepted by Taiwanese government and has been launched in CMUH since May 2021.
