The Stem Cell Lab

Can you find the 'cure'?

The first part of a 2-part exhibit, the Stem Cell Lab encourages users to generate a 'cure' for Stem Cell Stella. Users start with a stem cell and have to make some key decisions to affect what cure they produce for poor Stella!

This interactive exhibit can be used at a variety of levels and explains to users how one stem cell can differentiate into different cell types; the pluripotent nature of stem cells.

If and when the user successfully generates a 'cure' that Stem Cell Stella requires, they can then 'feed' Stella the cure and complete the process.

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