4II. Properties of cellsCELL1. Most basic and smallest unit to exhibit life, and life is the most basic property of cells. 2. Can be cultured in vitro where they will grow and reproduce for extended periods of time. 3. Can renew and expand themselves in vivo under exact regulation by their community.Before longer than 80 years ago, Wilson said that every key problem can be discovered in cells! The first culture of human cells was begun by George Gey of Johns Hopkins University in 1951, and that was named as Hela cell from human malignant tumor because the donor’s name is Henrrietta Lacks. Hela cells are still used in many labs now in the world. The cell culture in vitro has become an essential tool of cellular or molecular biologists. Cell culture in vitro is so important that if you can not do it you can not do any life research almost!
5Dimensions of some example cells. 1 mm = 10?3 m; 1 μm = 10?6 m; 1 nm = 10?9 m
