Cell biology is a specialized branch of biology focused on the study of cell structure and function. Cells are categorized into two main types: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria and archaea, lack a membrane-bound nucleus and reproduce through binary fission. Eukaryotic cells, which can be either unicellular or multicellular, are found in organisms such as fungi, plants, protozoa, and animals. The field of cell biology is further divided into areas such as cell communication, metabolism, the cell cycle, cellular composition, and biochemistry. To investigate these processes, a range of techniques is employed, such as cell culture, cell fractionation, and microscopy. The discipline frequently intersects with other fields, such as molecular biology, genetics, and medical microbiology. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of cell biology. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of the field. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike, and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
