Cell biology hits the red carpet Dec 15, 2007
Kathleen Rankin took home second place (and $300) for a series of three movies about HeLa cells whose red spindle and green myosin perform intricate dances during anaphase ... K.

Modeling gene expression regulatory networks with the sparse vector autoregressive model Aug 31, 2007
By applying SVAR to actual HeLa cell cycle gene expression data, we were able to identify well known transcription factor targets. Conclusions. (BioMed Central)
Important Secret In Gene Replication Uncovered Jun 15, 2007
"To our surprise, what the HeLa cells were predicting in terms of chromatin packaging held true in the lymphocytes, even though the HeLa cells are cancer cells with scrambled genes," Dutta said ... The ENCODE project studied a cervical cancer cell line, the HeLa cell line, which is well studied by biochemists. (Science Daily)

To our surprise, what the HeLa cells were predicting in terms of chromatin packaging held true in the lymphocytes, even though the HeLa cells are cancer cells with scrambled genes, Dutta said ... ABOUT THE CELL LINES: The ENCODE project studied a cervical cancer cell line, the HeLa cell line, which is well studied by biochemists. (EurekAlert!)
p150 ADAR1 isoform involved in maintenance of HeLa cell proliferation Dec 8, 2006
A conditional site-specific, ribozyme-based gene knock-down strategy was utilized to study the function of full-length isoform of ADAR1 (p150 protein) in HeLa cell. Double-stable HeLa cell lines were developed by transfecting HeLa Tet-On cells with a pTRE-derived plasmid that can express a hammerhead ribozyme against mRNA of p150 ADAR1 isoform under induction condition ... Both HeLa cell proliferation in vitro and the growth rate of transplanted HeLa cell-derived tumors in nude mice in vivo were... (BioMed Central)
