Ensuring Research Integrity: The Importance of Contamination-Free Cell Lines
Cell lines are the backbone of modern biomedical research. They give scientists reliable biological systems for studying human diseases, testing drugs, and learning about basic cell processes. Among these research tools, HeLa cells are probably the most important and widely used human cell line in scientific history. These cells have helped make countless scientific breakthroughs, from creating the polio vaccine to making progress in cancer treatment and gene therapy.
