List of topics in cell biology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cell invokes a major branch of theory and research known variously as cell biology, cellular biology or cytology. The study of cell tissues is known as histology. Cell types are often referred to using the suffixes -blast, -clast, -cyte, especially regarding immature cells, or -phil pertaining to blood cells; hormone producing cells are frequently designated -trope or -troph; CNS cells as -glia; immune cells as -phage.
