AUTOLOGOUS -
Adjective: Transplanted from the same person's body such as an autologous graft. Some cancer patients who are to get radiation treatment will have a quantity of their bone marrow taken out for future transplanting back in again. The radiation kills off the stem cells and as their own bone marrow is put back in there is no problem with graft-versus-host disease .

Greek - autós = self +
Greek - lógos = relation
