Henrietta Lacks was an African American woman whose cervical cancer cells were collected without her knowledge or consent in the 1950s. These cells, known as Hela cells, became the first human cell line to be grown and maintained in cell cultures. They have since been widely used in scientific research, contributing to numerous advancements in medicine, including the development of vaccines, understanding of viruses and insights into cancer biology. The remarkable ability of Hela cells to continuously grow and divide in laboratory conditions has made them invaluable tools in biomedical research.
