HELA用不了了
HELA cells, named after Henrietta Lacks, are a unique and invaluable tool in medical research. In 1951, Henrietta Lacks was a young African American woman who unknowingly donated her cancer cells to science. Little did she know that her cells would live on indefinitely, and become the first immortal human cells ever grown in culture.
HELA cells have played a crucial role in countless scientific discoveries and medical breakthroughs. They have been used to develop vaccines, study the effects of radiation and toxic substances, and even aid in the development of in vitro fertilization techniques.
Despite the immense contribution of HELA cells to science and medicine, Henrietta Lacks’ story remained largely unknown for decades. It wasn’t until Rebecca Skloot’s book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” was published in 2010 that her story gained widespread recognition.
Today, HELA cells continue to be a fundamental resource for researchers around the world, highlighting the enduring legacy of Henrietta Lacks and the remarkable impact of her immortal cells.#3#
