The Game of Life: Stem Cell Edition

The Game of Life: Stem Cell Edition

In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types. As learners play, they'll discover that a wide variety of cells can arise as different "cell fate decisions" are made along a stem cell's developmental path.
