#stem cells
- Autologous — Originating from the same individual; obtained, harvested, or derived from the patient's own organism to whom it is to be administered. In surgical and hematological practice, the term describes own tissue grafts, stem cells, plasma, or blood transfusions, this medical approach completely eliminating the risk of immune rejection, graft-versus-host disease, or transmission of viral infections.
- Autotransplantation — A surgical or medical procedure consisting of transplanting a tissue, organ, or cellular assembly (such as bone marrow, stem cells, or skin and bone fragments) harvested from an individual and grafted into another anatomical area of the same organism. This structural phenomenon completely eliminates the risk of immunological rejection and the need for immunosuppressive drugs, ensuring optimal biological integration.
