10 Henrietta Lacks, mujer aforamericana de 31 años y madre de 5 hijos, falleció el 4 de octubre de 1951, víctima de cáncer de cérvix de útero. Los doctores Grey, que la atendieron, extrajeron de su cuerpo células malignas que cultivaron en el laboratorio, consiguiendo así las primeras células capaces de sobrevivir sin el soporte vital del cuerpo. Cada 24 horas las células de Henrietta se duplicaban. Un año después de su fallecimiento, tubos semanales de células Hela se enviaban a todo el mundo, unos seis billones de células. Se calcula que actualmente la masa total de células HeLa cultivadas en laboratorios es superior al número total de células que había en el cuerpo de Henrietta.
