Cellular biology, also known as cell biology, is a branch of biology that focuses on the study of cells, their structure, function, and interactions with their environment. It explores the fundamental unit of life, the cell, and investigates how cells carry out various processes essential for the functioning of living organisms.

Cells are the building blocks of all living organisms, from simple single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms like humans. Cellular biology delves into the structure of cells, including their organelles (such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum), the cell membrane, and the cytoplasm. It also examines the functions of these cellular components and how they work together to sustain life.

Some key areas of study in cellular biology include cell division, cell signaling, metabolism, cellular transport, and cell communication. Researchers in this field aim to understand how cells function and interact, which can provide insights into various biological processes and diseases.

Cellular biology is closely related to other branches of biology, such as molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry. Advances in cellular biology have contributed to our understanding of diseases, the development of new drugs, and the field of biotechnology.
