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.
But what's a HeLa cell? It's a line, or population, of cells, taken from a person and used in scientific research. Cell lines are often named after the people from whom they were originally derived, and HeLa comes from the first two letters in the name Henrietta Lacks.
