The HeLa cell line is the oldest human cell line used in molecular biology research.
Every cell in a cell line has the same genes.
Since their discovery, scientists have been using HeLa cells to study cancer, radiation poisoning, and infectious disease.
Like most cancer cells, HeLa cells have more DNA than normal cells.
HeLa cells can also divide forever without the help of scientists.
In contrast, normal, non-cancerous cells can only divide a for a little while before their telomeres shorten too much and the cell cannot divide any longer.
HeLa cells have a special type of active telomerase that extends telomeres during regular division.
In 1951, these cells were found in a cervical tumor of 30 year old Henrietta Lacks.
A sample of the tumor was taken during Lacks' stay at Johns Hopkins Hospital by a doctor named George Gey.
He did this without telling her.
Lacks died later that year, but her neither her nor her family were ever told about the cells until many decades later.
One of the most famous uses for HeLa cells came when Jonas Salk used these cells to test his vaccine, which now protects a lot of people against polio.
Some of the more recent uses for HeLa cells are a Human papillomavirus vaccine made by Harold zur Hausen.
This vaccine won him a Nobel Prize in 2008.
Another use for HeLa cells is telomerase research, which won Elizabeth Blackburn a 2009 Nobel Prize.
HeLa cells have also been used for the development of new chemotherapy techniques and to test how and where nuclear radiation mutates cells.
The use of HeLa cells has drawn some criticism.
This is because Henrietta Lacks did not know that a piece of her tumor had been taken.
When Lacks was identified nearly twenty years later, it raised a lot of questions about the issue of medical consent.
Consent is when someone gives permission for something to happen.
By law, there are several rules put in place to protect people involved in scientific research from harm.
These rules also apply to research samples, which are allowed to be used as long as the quality of care is maintained and the patient identity is protected.
One paper notes that if Henrietta Lacks were alive today, doctors would not need to ask for her consent.
Some people find it concerning that Henrietta Lacks wasn't asked for permission.
This is because a lot of molecular biology techniques rely on DNA sequencing, so whenever the results of an experiment are published, the genetic information of the subject used is also put on full display.
This is less of a problem when the identity of the sample's origin is fully protected, but troubling in the case of Henrietta Lacks.
This is because full genome sequencing can reveal personal information like race, sex, and genetic history.
In 2013, the entire HeLa cell line genome sequence was made public without the consent of Lacks' surviving family.
Even though pieces of the HeLa genome have been sequenced separately, it is still possible to find genetic sequences that are often inherited together.
This has the potential to reveal information about Lacks' surviving family.
Critics argue that this represents a serious breach of privacy on behalf of the Lacks family.
Since then, a new National Institutes of Health policy requires that researchers apply for special permission to access the full genome sequence.

Smuglyanka (Russian: Смугля́нка, meaning "the dark girl") is a Russian song.
The lyrics tell of a man who met a pretty woman gathering grapes and tries to seduce her, but finds out that she is a partisan.
She then convinces him to join the partisans as well.
It was written in 1940 by Yakov Shvedov (lyrics) and Anatoliy Grigoryevich Novikov (music).
The song was meant to glorify female partisans in the Russian Civil War.
The song is still very popular.

Potholes (also called kettles or kettle holes) are shallow bodies of water.
They are filled with sediment.
They are formed by retreating glaciers or by draining floodwaters.
Potholes can be formed when big blocks of ice break off of glaciers.
The blocks become covered by sediment the glacier leaves behind.
When the block melts, the hole it leaves behind is a pothole.
Potholes can also be formed when an ice-dammed lake suddenly drains away.
As the ice melts, ramparts can form around the edge of the pothole.
The lakes that fill these holes are usually  deep or less.
They eventually become filled with sediment.
In acid conditions, a bog may form.
In alkaline conditions, it will be peatland.
Kettles are landforms created by melted water from glaciers, a process called "fluvioglacial."
When warming weather conditions cause a glacier to start melting, large blocks of ice can break off in a process called "calving."
Rather than melting on the surface of the ground, the ice block can get partially or totally buried by dirt, rocks, and plant matter - the "sediment" carried in the glacier together with its ice content.
This sediment piles up on the land where the glacier had been, a broad, smooth stretch called an "outwash plain" (or "sandur").
The kettle hole occurs when the exposed or buried ice block melts so that the surface of the sandur sinks.
Multiple kettle holes can form near each other, and with the ridges and mounds of sediment around them the smooth surface of the sandur becomes irregular.
Kettle holes can also occur in ridge-shaped deposits of loose rock chunks called "till."
Kettle holes can also form when a lake has a large amount of ice blocking the outlet where water drains from it, and the ice breaks up all at once.
The flood that this causes can carry blocks of ice and sediment similar to the glacier-calf activity described above.
These floods are called "jökulhlaups," an Islandic term used wherever this occurs.
In 1992, the geologist Judith Maizels made outdoor observations and reproduced the conditions in a laboratory simulation.
She found that protective walls (called ramparts) (protective walls) form around the edge of kettle holes made by jökulhlaup floods.
The type of ramparts that develop depends on the how concentrated are the rock fragments contained in the melted ice block, and also on how deeply the block was buried by sediment.
Most kettle holes are less than two kilometres in diameter, although some in the U.S. Midwest exceed ten kilometres.
Puslinch Lake in Ontario, Canada, is the largest kettle lake in Canada, covering .
Fish Lake in the north-central Cascade Mountains of the U.S. state of Washington is .
The depth of most kettles is less than ten meters.
In most cases, kettle holes eventually fill with water, sediment, or plant growth (vegetation).
If the kettle gets more water from surface or underground rivers or streams, it becomes a kettle lake.
If the kettle gets its water from rainfall and/or snowfall (precipitation), existing groundwater, or a combination of the two, it is termed a kettle pond.
A kettle wetland is a kettle pond in which plant matter grows.
Kettle ponds that are not affected by the local groundwater table will usually become dry during the warm summer months, in which case they are called "ephemeral" (something which disappears on its own).
Kettle bogs
If water in a kettle becomes acidic due to decomposing organic plant matter, it becomes a kettle bog.
Otherwise, if underlying soils are lime-based, which has the effect of neutralizing the acidic conditions somewhat, it becomes a kettle peatland.
Kettle bogs are closed ecosystems because they have no water source other than precipitation (rainfall and snowfall).
Both acidic kettle bogs and fresh water kettles are important ecological niches for some symbiotic (mutually dependent) species of flora and fauna.
The Kettle Moraine, a region of Wisconsin covering an area from Green Bay at Lake Michigan to south-central Wisconsin, has numerous kettles, moraines and other glacial features.
It has many kettle lakes, some of which are 100 to  deep.
Kettle Point, Ontario, Canada, has rock concretions (where sediment naturally cements into hard masses) locally named 'kettles', but there are no kettle lakes in this region.

On 6 May, after having deliberated for a little over two hours, the jury found Brady guilty of all three murders and Hindley guilty of the murders of Downey and Evans.
As the death penalty for murder had been abolished while Brady and Hindley were held on remand, the judge passed the only sentence that the law allowed: life imprisonment.
Brady was sentenced to three concurrent life sentences and Hindley was given two
