Autologous stem-cell transplantation (also called autogenous, autogenic, or autogenic stem-cell transplantation and abbreviated auto-SCT) is the autologous transplantation of stem cells [1][2][3][4] —that is, transplantation in which stem cells (undifferentiated cells from which other cell types develop) are removed from a person, stored, and ...
Autotransplantation is the transplantation of organs, tissues, or even particular proteins from one part of the body to another in the same person (auto- meaning "self" in Greek [1]). The autologous tissue (also called autogenous, autogeneic, or autogenic tissue) transplanted by such a procedure is called an autograft or autotransplant.
The term autogenous, from the Greek root auto-("self"), describes how the individual who receives the graft is the same individual who provides the donor tissue. [ 3 ] The connective tissue is generally taken from the hard palate , although it may be taken from other sites as well, such as the maxillary tuberosity area.
Autogenesis. Autogenesis may refer to: Abiogenesis, the origination of life from non-living things, as believed by Aristotle and in modern evolutionary theory. Orthogenesis, a discredited evolutionary idea that hypothesised a directed teleological form of evolution. "Christ the Autogenes" in gnostic texts such as the Secret Book of John.
In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function. [1] [2] Tissues occupy a biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ. Accordingly, organs are formed by the functional grouping together of multiple tissues. [3]
Organoid. Intestinal organoid grown from Lgr5+ stem cells. An organoid is a miniaturised and simplified version of an organ produced in vitro in three dimensions that mimics the key functional, structural, and biological complexity of that organ. [1] It is derived from one or a few cells from a tissue, embryonic stem cells, or induced ...
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent haematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. [10][11][12] It may be autologous (the patient's own stem cells are used), allogeneic (the stem cells come from a donor) or syngeneic (from an identical ...
Autogenic succession. "Auto-" meaning self or same, and "-genic" meaning producing or causing. Autogenic succession refers to ecological succession driven by biotic factors within an ecosystem and although the mechanisms of autogenic succession have long been debated, the role of living things in shaping the progression of succession was ...
