But most cells die or make limited copies of themselves after they’re removed from the body by a doctor or a scientist. HeLa cells were the first human cells that researchers could grow and ...

Henrietta Lacks, the woman whose cells revolutionized medical research, is honored with a wax figure at Morgan State ...

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 ...

The immortal cells can grow and divide indefinitely, thus enabling a multitude of innovative and life-saving studies on human ...

It further asserts that Ultragenyx has "made a fortune by using Mrs Lacks's stolen cells as a factory to make its 'proprietary' gene therapy products." The case centres around the use of HeLa ...

This excess results in damage to cells and tissues. Other studies have shown this plays a role in many chronic and degenerative conditions. Researchers studied HeLa cells, which are so-called ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents an innovative acoustofluidics-based approach for intracellular nanoparticle ...

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 ...

Hela is part of an extensive and growing list of characters in Marvel Rivals.The goddess of death brings destruction upon the battlefield. In true underworld fashion, this character isn’t the ...

Authors of a new paper take issue with revisions to regulations on biospecimen research enacted last month, and argue that cell lines should be treated differently from other biospecimens.
