- Title
Books: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
- Authors
Milton, Hannah
- Abstract
Henrietta's cells have facilitated the research into the association of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer, the HPV vaccine, the polio vaccine, countless cancer treatments, and allowed cosmetics to be tested without using animals - but I knew none of that before I read the book. Graph How have I never heard of Henrietta Lacks before? This book documents Skloot's journey to discover how the cells from Henrietta's fatal cervical cancer came to be so significant within medical research.
