The most famous cancer cells are called HeLa cells. They're named HeLa cells after the young woman whose cervical cancer cells were biopsied to create this immortal line of cells: Henrietta Lacks. Her cells are still used to today in cancer research.

Side note: Her cells were used WITHOUT her consent and without any type of compensation for her contribution. Her case has been a big source of debate in the biomedical ethics community about consent and racial disparities in healthcare.

Which is the main reason cells are replaced in the body?. The cells are too large.. The cells are inactive.. The cells are damag
anygoal [31]

The right answer is The cells are damaged.

Take the example of skin cells.  

The skin consists of two tissues:

* the outermost, the epidermis, resting on a vascularized connective tissue,

* the dermis.

In the epidermis, which includes several layers of cells, the outer layer is formed of dead cells that are desquamating and are constantly being replaced from proliferating basal cell cells. So, in normal conditions, the epidermis is in constant renewal.

On the other hand, when accidentally, the upper parts of the epidermis are damaged, for example, a slight abrasion or of a burn, the destroyed portion is regenerated (replaced) thanks to an accelerated proliferation of basal epidermal cells .
