Modern cell biology is a dynamic discipline that combines the interests and techniques of many scientific fields including genetics, developmental biology and biochemistry.
**Applications of cell biology**
Cell biologists investigate the basic structural and functional units of life: the cells that compose all living organisms. They aim to understand:
* cellular structure
* composition and regulation
* the organelles that cells contain
* cell growth
* nuclear and cellular division
