Gey labeled it " HeLa" after the patient with the unusual tumor, Henrietta Lacks.

Gey将它命名为海拉细胞（HeLa） 名从携带这不寻常肿瘤的病人 Henrietta Lacks。

HeLa cells themselves actually have around 80 highly mutated chromosomes.

海拉细胞自己拥有大约八十条高度变异的染色体。

Not HeLa, though, and that's the part we can't yet explain.

海拉细胞就不同了 可是，这也是我们无法解释的地方。

Importance of HeLa The importance of Henrietta's cells cannot be overstated.

HeLa 的重要性海瑞塔细胞的重要性怎么强调都不为过。

Telomerase, an enzyme that helps cancer cells evade destruction by repairing their DNA, was discovered first in HeLa cells.

端粒酶，这个酶会修复癌细胞的DNA, 避免癌细胞的死亡，在海拉细胞中被第一次发现。

Tuskegee's mass-production of HeLa would serve as the first of its kind.

塔斯基吉的 HeLa 大规模生产将是同类产品中的第一个。

Soon, the HeLa Project at Tuskegee University began growing the cell line, employing mostly black women lab technicians.

很快，塔斯基吉大学的 HeLa 项目开始培养细胞系，雇佣了大部分黑人女性实验室技术人员。

We know that human cells have 46 chromosomes because a scientist working with HeLa discovered a chemcial that makes chromosomes visible.

我们所知道的人类细胞拥有46条染色体是因为一位科学家利用海拉细胞 发现了一种化学物质能使染色体可见。

Gey was ecstatic the cells were growing " like crabgrass" and soon, among researchers, word was out about the amazing HeLa cells.

Gey 欣喜若狂，这些细胞“像马唐草一样”生长，很快，在研究人员中，关于惊人的 HeLa 细胞的消息就传开了。

Cultivation of HeLa launched a revolution in biomedical research and a multibillion-dollar industry.

海拉的培育引发了生物医学研究和数十亿美元产业的革命。

Perhaps the most well-known advances using HeLa occurred soon after Henrietta's death, in the midst of a polio epidemic.

也许使用 HeLa 最著名的进步发生在海瑞塔死后不久，在脊髓灰质炎流行期间。

Today, we examine the woman behind the notorious and immortal HeLa cells: Henrietta Lacks.

今天，我们来看看臭名昭著的不朽 HeLa 细胞背后的女人：Henrietta Lacks。

By the next morning to Mary's surprise, Henrietta's cells had divided, and in the days ahead, HeLa cells kept making copies of themselves.

令玛丽惊讶的是，第二天早上，海瑞塔的细胞已经分裂，在接下来的几天里，海拉细胞不断复制自己。

Henrietta's HeLa cells helped doctors figure out - or understand - a lot about how cells grow and led to so many medical discoveries.

亨丽埃塔的" 海拉细胞" 帮医生们弄清楚——或者理解了很多东西——细胞的繁殖方式以及许多医学发现。

In an interesting turn of fate, thanks to HeLa, we know that cervical cancer can be caused by a virus called HPV and now there's a vaccine.

还有一场有趣的命运的转折，感谢海拉细胞，我们才得知宫颈癌是由一种叫做 人乳头状瘤病毒（HPV）的病毒造成的现在也有了针对其的疫苗。

No one, aside from the patient's doctors and lead researchers knew the origins of the HeLa cells — not her name, or anything else about her life.

除了病人的医生和主要研究人员，没有人知道 HeLa 细胞的起源——不知道她的名字，也不知道她生活中的任何其他事情。

Named 'HeLa cells' after her initials, Henrietta Lacks' tissue helped make possible all sorts of medical breakthroughs, from the polio vaccine to cancer drugs, to HIV and IVF treatments.

组织中的细胞以她姓名的首字母被命名为" 海拉细胞" ，亨丽埃塔·拉克斯的这种组织帮助实现了各种医学突破，从小儿麻痹症疫苗到抗癌药物，再到艾滋病治疗和体外受精治疗。

The HeLa cells, named for the patient's first and last name, acted differently than other cells in the lab — they were hardier, and replicated at an amazing rate.

海拉细胞以病人的名字和姓氏命名，其作用不同于实验室中的其他细胞——它们更顽强，并以惊人的速度复制。

HeLa cells have even been put into space on missions with both Americans and Russians, were tested against an atomic bomb, and were the first human cells to be cloned.

海拉细胞甚至被送入太空，与美国人和俄罗斯人一起执行任务，接受了原子弹测试，是第一批被克隆的人类细胞。

Henrietta's HeLa cells helped doctors figure out, or understand, a lot about how cells grow and led to so many medical discoveries we might call them a workhorse, something which works extremely hard.

海里埃塔的 HeLa 细胞帮助医生们弄明白或理解了很多关于细胞生长的内容，并且催生了如此多的医学发现，我们可以把它们叫做老黄牛，指的是工作极其辛苦的事物。
