HeLa cells are naturally resistant to all drugs.

Dr. Lee pauses and looks at Elena, who furrows her brow in thought. ‘I think that HeLa cells are drug resistant that’s why we need to use different drugs.’ 

 

Dr. Lee: ‘Not quite. HeLa cells aren’t inherently resistant to drugs. In fact, that’s part of the reason they make a good experimental model—they allow us to test how different compounds or stress conditions impact cell behavior.’

Elena: ‘So, if HeLa cells aren’t drug-resistant, does that mean we can directly transfer our findings to real cervical cancer cells?’

Dr. Lee: ‘That’s an excellent question, Elena. While HeLa cells don’t fully replicate the complexity of drug resistance found in most cancers, including cervical cancer, they provide a useful baseline for studying the general effects of treatments, such as a nutrient supplement or a new drug. Their relatively high adaptability and rapid growth make them a good starting model. Once we identify promising effects in HeLa cells, we would then test them in more specialized models, such as drug-resistant cervical cancer cell lines.’

You: ‘So HeLa cells act like a starting point in the research process?’

Dr. Lee: ‘Exactly. Their ease of growth, adaptability, and well-characterized behavior make them ideal for preliminary studies. When we introduce a variable like Supplement X, we can observe fundamental effects under controlled conditions, unclouded by complicating factors like pre-existing drug resistance. Essentially, HeLa cells provide a clean slate for testing hypotheses.’

 

Why are HeLa cells commonly used in research?

  • HeLa cells are easily cultured and highly proliferative.
