Cell biology
Cell biology (cellular biology) is an academic discipline
which studies the physiological
properties of cells
, as well as their behaviours
, intercellular interactions, and environment
; this is done both on a microscopic
and molecular
level. Cell biology researches both single-celled organisms like bacteria
and specialized cells in multicellular organisms like humans
.
Cell biology is closely related to genetics , biochemistry , molecular biology and developmental biology .

- Cell fractionation
- Flow cytometry
- Release of cellular organelles by disruption of cells.
- Separation of different organelles by centrifugation .
- Proteins extracted from membranes by detergents and salts .
Movement of proteins
Proteins can be moved into membranes and organelles.
