Where do they come from? And what do we really know about them? This 15-minute film by EuroStemCell provides an engaging, accessible and visually stunning introduction to the world of stem cell research.

We have recently begun to utilize 3 dimensional printing technologies to produce different models of enzyme cofactors and protein structures.
A MakerBot Replicator 2 was recently purchased through the generous support of the BioTechnology Institute at the University of Minnesota, and is housed in the Cargill Building on the St. Paul campus. This technology allows us to download pdb files from the Protein Data Bank, and using a range of software tools, we can finally import a completed file into the MakerWare Software, which then prepares a file that is used to print a scaled 3 dimensional model of the protein or cofactor In support of this technology and to further promote what I feel is a potentially valuable educational tool, I have been building a number of these models and posting them to Thingiverse. Anyone can go to Thingiverse and download the files for printing on a MakerBot Replicator 2. Autodesk 123D - Free 3D Modeling Software, 3D Models, DIY Projects, Personal Fabrication Tools.
