【History Talk】The immortal HeLa cells【Kenshin History 】

Immortality, from emperors and generals to alchemists, has always been the ultimate goal in human history. But has anyone truly succeeded? Apart from legends, no one has achieved it, right? But today, I'm not talking about people; I'm talking about the history of cells obtaining immortality.

It all started with a newspaper headline in 2010: "Cancer cells killed Henrietta Lacks (1920-1951), but also made her immortal." Strictly speaking, Lacks didn't achieve immortality; it was her cancer cells.
