HeLa cells can vary in size depending on the culture conditions, but they can grow to be as large as 40 micrometers across, or roughly half of the width of a human hair.

George Gey didn’t look for credit or payment for creating HeLa. While use of the line was becoming more widespread he was already off looking at new cell lines to culture. It took almost a year ...

Indeed, HeLa cells were so robust that they contaminated many other cell cultures and were responsible for erroneous observations that normal cells became malignant with time in culture.

Cell culture is a fundamental technique in biotechnology and life ... These cell lines are more stable and easier to maintain compared to primary cells. Examples include HeLa cells (derived from ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

Most vertebrate cells in culture only grow and divide for a limited ... and acquire the ability to divide and grow indefinitely. HeLa cells are unique in many ways. The normal human cells contain ...

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 ...

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 ...

Control protein and soluble RCAS1, isolated from HeLa and SiSo cell culture supernatants, respectively, were added at day 0 and day 2. After an additional 3 days of culture, the cells were pulsed ...
