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 ...

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 ...

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.

HeLa cells are human cells that were derived from cervical cancer cells taken from a cancer patient in 1951. They are the first immortal human cell line and have been a vital tool in medical research.

HeLa cells were the first human cells that researchers could grow and multiply endlessly in the lab. This gave researchers across the world a steady supply of the same cells to test on.

This could account for some reproducibility problems in cell line research, according to the authors of a comprehensive analysis of HeLa variants. After a year teaching an algorithm to differentiate ...

Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout eukaryotic cells. These filaments are involved in giving the cell its structure, allowing the cell to move, and ...

It also claims that Ultragenyx was aware of the origins of the HeLa cell line, but never sought or received permission from the estate of Henrietta Lacks to use them. The biotech – which has a ...
