Bones are very important in the body as they help provide structure, allow us to move, and protect our vital organs such as the brain, heart, & lungs. Bones are also incredibly strong and have an amazing ability to repair themselves. However sometimes bones need extra help, and that's where our bonkers biomaterials come in!
At this interactive exhibit, you'll discover how we use human-safe materials and stem cells to promote bone healing, deliver medications, and prevent bone infections in the process.
At this Exhibit you can:
• Carry out your own stem cell experiment,
• Determine the fate of stem cells in a pin ball machine,
• Have a go at toppling bacteria in our skittles game.
