Cell biology is a branch of biology that studies the structure and function of cells, the basic unit of life. It focuses on the complex organelles and structures that make up cells, including the nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Cell biology also examines how cells communicate with each other and interact with their environment. This field is essential to understanding the processes that occur within cells, which can range from basic functions such as metabolism and protein synthesis to more complex processes such as cell division and differentiation. Understanding cell biology has significant implications for medicine, as many diseases arise from cellular dysfunction.
