A Japanese research team has discovered a novel global cooperative phenomena of cell interactions in cervical cancer cells. Their findings suggest that the cells are metabolically connected in a ...

This led scientists to call HeLa cells the first “immortal” line of human cells. Scientists around the world have used HeLa cells to drive different areas of medicine forward: Vaccines.

As Henrietta herself lay dying, the HeLa immortal cell line was born. This cell line has been used in nearly every aspect of medical research since the polio vaccine. Millions owe their lives to it.

Immortal cell lines, such as HeLa cells, are the backbone of many experiments conducted by today's cell and molecular biologists, but most of them give little thought to the origins of the ...

These results were interpreted as reflecting widespread contamination of cultures by the first established human cell line HeLa. These findings were presented at the Second Decennial Review ...
