Self-generated or produced within an organism without outside influence; especially used in medicine for grafts from the same person.
From Greek 'auto-' (self) and 'genos' (race/origin), used in medical terminology since the 1800s to distinguish self-sourced from donor tissues.
Autogenous skin grafts are revolutionary in surgery because your own skin accepts itself perfectly—no rejection, no complications—your immune system recognizes it as 'you.'
