Featuring beautiful hand-drawn animations and interviews with leading stem cell scientists, STEM CELL REVOLUTIONS charts the history and scientific evolution of stem cell research – from the earliest experiments that first revealed stem cells in the body, to leading current scientific and clinical developments.
Supported by the Wellcome Trust and made by the same team as behind our four short films, Stem Cell Stories, this documentary is a genuinely creative collaboration between scientists and filmmakers.
STEM CELL REVOLUTIONS features eminent international scientists in stem cell research including Nobel Laureate Sir Martin Evans and Sir Ian Wilmut, creator of Dolly the sheep, and acclaimed novelist Margaret Atwood.
Hug-doctor-and-patient.jpgIt is a historic moment for stem cell biology – not only have stem cells themselves vitally changed our understanding of the human body, but the recent breakthrough by one of our main characters, iPS pioneer Shinya Yamanaka, has been hailed as “the biggest breakthrough since stem cells changed our understanding of how the body works.”
