The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks & Migraine

By Chris Z Saturday, November 19, 2011

I am currently reading this incredible book about Henrietta Lacks' cells (HeLa) that were taken in 1951.  Out of curiosity I did a search on HeLa and migraine and came up with over 1 million results.  The initial results pop up Familial Hemiplegic Migraine. I just find this so interesting that the cells of one woman have been researched in so many ways besides cancer, polio and AIDS.  I highly recommend reading the book.  While for many things they have not brought us cures, but have given hope to many of the disorders we have.  I just had to share.
