Autologous Muscle-derived Cells for Gastrointestinal Repair

**Semantic type:** Cell|Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** A preparation of autologous human muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs), that can potentially be used for engraftment purposes for gastrointestinal (GI) repair (GIR). Upon administration, autologous muscle-derived cells (AMDC) for GI repair (AMDC-GIR) differentiate and self-renew. This allows for certain damaged GI tissues to be repaired.

**Synonyms:** - AMDC-GIR - AMDCs for GIR - Autologous Muscle Derived Stem Cells for GIR
