It’s a bright morning as you arrive at the lab. Dr. Lee, the lead researcher, stands at the head of the lab bench where clean, sterile plates and flasks are neatly arranged. The benches are lined with pipette racks, microscope equipment, and disinfectant spray bottles.

Dr. Lee: ‘Good morning, everyone. Today, you’ll work on a cell culture experiment that investigates the potential impact of Supplement X, a nutrient-based compound, on the survival and morphology of HeLa cells, which are mammalian cells modeled to resemble cervical cancer.’

He pauses and glances around the room and sees you raising your hand.

You: ‘Dr. Lee, are these cells the best suited for your research?’

Dr. Lee: ‘Great question. HeLa cells grow quickly and adapt to various experiments, making them a universal cancer model. We can manipulate them to study cervical cancer behavior.’
