Cell Origin
Autologous vs Allogeneic stem cells
Both sources have a role in regenerative medicine. The deciding factors are collection, processing, screening and doctor-led review.

Side-by-side
Autologous
Cells collected from the patient's own body — bone marrow, adipose, or peripheral blood. May reduce donor-related concerns but cell quality may be affected by age, chronic disease, inflammation, lifestyle and overall health.
Allogeneic
Cells from a donor or tissue source — umbilical cord, Wharton's Jelly, placenta, amniotic or cord blood. Requires donor consent, donor screening, pathogen screening, sterility testing, viability data, marker verification and transparent documentation.
