Above: Promotional photo from the "Cellular Journey" exhibition that features a series of interactive exhibits designed to introduce you to human cell biology, the importance of stem cells and the potential impact of stem cells on medical research in the fields of regenerative and personalized medicine at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center.
“Cellular Journey” is the Fleet’s all-new hands on exhibition made possible by the Life Technologies Foundation. The exhibit, opening on Saturday, March 19, 2011, will expand visitor’s knowledge and appreciation of human cell biology, the importance of stem cells and the potential impact of stems cells on medical research in the fields of regenerative and personalized medicine.
Interactive exhibit features include “Journey Inside a Cell,” which will lead the viewer through an informative and graphically exciting survey of the structural design of a human cell, examining the variety of cell structures and functions most common associated with cell function.
You can use a microscope at the "From Tissues to Cells" exhibit to examine various human tissue samples. You'll learn about four different types of tissues – epithelial, connective, muscle and nerve – and how they each carry out a specific function.
The “You are a Scientist” exhibit will include interactives that will simulate stem cell research where visitors can try and secure a stem cell, and move the cell to a “petri dish”.
*This exhibition is ongoing and will be added to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center’s permanent collection.

This was an interesting exhibit! The future holds much promise with Adult Stem Cells, and the newest discoveries in the field of Nutrition. An excellent book on this topic is written by NeuroScientist, Christian Drapeau, called, "Cracking the Stem Cell Code." His writing style makes it easy for people to grasp some of these amazing concepts.
