      My favourite cell is the mesenchymal stem cell – this is a cell that can differentiate (turn it to) a number of other cell types such as bone or fat cells.

      This means we can then use this cells to make lots of different types of tissues in the lab.

      Essentially you can use them to grow your own fat or bone!
