Cell biology (discipline)

Cell biology is the scientific study of cells, which are the fundamental units of life in all living organisms. It explores how cells function, grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment. This discipline examines the structures within cells, such as the nucleus and mitochondria, and how these components work together to sustain life processes. Understanding cell biology helps us learn how organisms develop, heal, and sometimes how diseases like cancer originate. Essentially, it provides insight into the basic building blocks of life and the complex activities that keep living things alive and functioning.
