During the lecture, Lena describes the cells in the video presentation as "cervical cancer" from a "31-year old patient." These are most likely HeLa cells, an immortalized cell line derived from a cervical cancer taken from Henrietta Lacks. The cells are widely used in biomedical research, and the story of how cells from a patient biopsy were derived without her consent or knowledge is shown in La vita immortale di Henrietta Lacks (2017). The movie is based on the book of the same name, and Lena is reading a copy of the book when she sits on the couch with Kane.
