HELA cells, named after Henrietta Lacks, are one of the most famous cell lines in medical research history. Discovered in 1951, these immortal cells have been instrumental in a wide range of scientific studies, from cancer research to vaccine development. What makes HELA cells so special is their ability to divide indefinitely, unlike normal human cells which have a limited lifespan. Henrietta Lacks, a young African American woman who unknowingly donated her cells for research, has become a symbol of ethical issues in the field of medicine. Her legacy lives on through HELA cells, which continue to be used in laboratories around the world. Thanks to HELA cells, researchers have been able to make significant breakthroughs in understanding diseases and developing new treatments. The story of Henrietta Lacks and her immortal cells serves as a reminder of the important role that ordinary individuals can play in advancing science.#18#
