Stem Cell Stella

Can you save her?

Stem Cell Stella is part of a 2-part exhibit but does stand-alone if required. When coupled with the Stem Cell Lab, Stem Cell Stella is the last part of the exhibition. In part 1, Stem Cell Lab, users will have generated a 'cure' for Stella and in this section they have to use it to cure her.

It is based on the simple children's activity of fitting the right shapes into the right holes; on this exhibit there are 6 'cures' that can be used and each one generates a recorded cheer from some young people when it is correctly inserted.

Each 'cure' can be developed from a stem cell and this, coupled with the Lab, demonstrates the pluripotency of stem cells.

This is part of 'Stem Cells for Blood Transfusion' exhibition.
