HeLA Cells
As Oprah Winfrey’s latest project, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, approaches its April 22 premiere on HBO, turmoil continues behind the scenes, leaving Winfrey “disappointed.”
http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/oprah-disappointed-in-lacks-family-drama/ar-BBzOa7o?li=BBnb7Kz
Henrietta Lacks was an African-American Baltimore cancer patient who died in 1951 not knowing her tumor cells (now known as HeLa cells) were harvested by Johns Hopkins Hospital researchers and later duplicated into “immortal” cell lines utilized by scientists for medical testing all over the world. (They remain in use to this day.)
