The lesson is guided by a presentation which introduces the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and describes the application of stem cells in the treatment of disease. Students work in groups to compare images of healthy and MS nerve cells before planning and carrying out a model drug testing investigation.

Produced in 2014, this resource looks at cell signalling when the hormone adrenaline binds to receptors on the surface of the target cell. The resource sheets describe how the original hormonal signal is amplified through a cascade reaction.

The resources in this collection cover teaching about cells for students aged 11-16.  They were produced to enrich a visit to the Intech Science Centre, but can be used independently of a visit.

Cell! Cell! Cell! is the story of the trillions of cells that form our bodies, from our beginnings as a...
