Scientists discovered the unique properties of HeLa cells from "summary" of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

Scientists were astounded by the remarkable properties of HeLa cells. These cells were unlike any others they had encountered before. HeLa cells multiplied at an incredibly rapid rate, doubling every twenty-four hours. This rapid growth allowed scientists to conduct experiments at a pace that was previously unimaginable. Furthermore, HeLa cells were incredibly resilient. They could withstand conditions that would typically destroy other cells. Scientists were able to expose HeLa cells to extreme temperatures, toxins, and radiation without causing them any harm. This resilience made HeLa cells invaluable for research purposes. In addition to their rapid growth and resilience, HeLa cells were also able t...
