Stem cells have astonishing potential. They can replicate forever and specialise into any of the 200+ different cell types that make up the adult human body. This fascinating process of replication and specialisation is the story of human development that started when each of us was a single stem cell and continues throughout adulthood as our bodies are replenished and repaired. In this exhibit, you can explore the science of stem cells with the help of pinball games and discover, through hands-on activities, the cutting-edge research at Southampton developing new insights and therapies for harnessing the potential of stem cells in medicine
