Polio. Not long after Henriettaâs death, planning began for a HeLa factoryâa massive operation that would grow to produce trillions of HeLa cells each week. It was built for one reason: to stop polio.
Additionally, HeLa cells have been used to test human sensitivity to tape, glue, cosmetics, and many other products. Scientists have grown an estimated 20 tons of HeLa cells, and there are almost 11,000 patents involving these cells. The HeLa cell lines are known to overtake other cell cultures in laboratory settings and it is estimated that HeLa cells, at one point, contaminated millions of dollars worth of biological research.
