cellular biology
Study of cells
Cellular biology is the branch of biology that studies cells—their structure, function, and behavior.
Also called cell biology, it examines how cells divide, communicate, metabolize nutrients, and respond to their environment.
The field underpins much of modern medicine and biotechnology: Her research in cellular biology focuses on how cancer cells evade the immune system.
