About :

HeLa cells are the most famous cell line in the world, but they are also the first immortalized human cells that we have managed to grow in the lab. These cells were taken 70 years ago from a woman with cervical cancer: Henrietta Lacks. So HeLa cells are cancer cells. These cells have contributed to some of the most important medical discoveries in history, such as the polio vaccine, chemotherapy, cloning, in vitro fertilization, and they have been sent into space to discover the effects of weightlessness on human tissue. But they also have a dark side. HeLa cells have been fundamental to scientific research, revolutionizing modern medicine and opening new frontiers in understanding diseases and treatments. In this video, we will examine the incredible story of HeLa cells, from the woman from whom they were taken to their importance in current medical and scientific research. To tell you what HeLa cells are all about, I have to tell you about Henrietta Lack.
