HeLa cells are easily cultured and highly proliferative.

Dr. Lee: ‘Exactly! HeLa cells' ability to grow rapidly and adapt to different conditions makes them a foundational model in cancer research. Their robustness helps us investigate general cancer cell biology and potential treatments.’

Υou raise your hand: ‘Why do HeLa cells grow so much faster than other cell lines?’

Dr. Lee: ‘HeLa cells were derived from a particularly aggressive cervical cancer. The genetic mutations in HeLa cells caused them to bypass many of the regulatory mechanisms that normal cells use to control division. That’s why they’re so prolific, but it’s also why they’re such a powerful tool for studying cancer biology.’

Elena: ‘Does that mean their rapid growth is both a strength and a limitation? Like, maybe they’re different from how slower-growing cancers behave?’

Dr. Lee nods: ‘Exactly. You’re thinking like a scientist, Elena. HeLa cells give us an ideal model for studying cancer characteristics, like unchecked growth, in a controlled setting. However, because certain types of cancer cells divide more slowly or interact differently within their environment, additional models are needed for nuanced studies. That’s why HeLa cells are often a starting point—they allow us to explore general principles before moving on to more specialized systems.’

You: ‘Even though these cells are immortal they still need to eat right?’
