Henrietta Lacks case study
HeLa cells are cervical cancer cells isolated from a woman named Henrietta Lacks. Her cells have been cultured since 1951 and used in numerous scientific experiments. Henrietta Lacks died from her cancer not long after her cells were isolated. Lacks' cancer cells contain remnants of human papillomavirus (HPV), which we now know increases the risk of cervical cancer.

(Optional) "Heart & Circulatory System" presentation
Presentation topic: "The Heart and Circulatory System".
This is to be a 5-6 minute PowerPoint presentation which you will give at an upcoming class. You can use PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, and so on.
Read the detailed instructions for "class presentations" posted in Canvas under the "Heart and Circulatory System" assignment. I'm not going to repeat these for each & every presentation we do in this class, so bookmark them or copy them somewhere so you can refer back to them.
Your presentation should be suitable for an Anatomy class. Use correct Anatomical terms. Examples: you can make your presentation on things such as heart disease, pacemakers, artificial hearts, blood-borne infectious diseases (HIV, hepatitis B or C), how smoking and alcohol affect the heart, how SARS CoV-2 affects the heart and circulation, how the Covid-19 vaccines might affect the heart, recent developments in heart valves, how heart muscles work, the heart’s electrical system, cardiac tissue engineering, Sickle Cell Anemia, Leukemia, other diseases of the blood, new drugs or drugs under development, and so on.
