Cytion explores the transformative role of HeLa cells in medical research. Derived from Henrietta Lacks' cervical cancer cells in 1951, HeLa cells were the first immortal human cell line. They have been pivotal in major breakthroughs, including the development of the polio and HPV vaccines, understanding cancer mechanisms, and advancements in virology. Despite their scientific significance, HeLa cells also raise ethical questions about consent, as they were used without Lacks' knowledge.
