From cell biology to the microbiome: An intentional infinite loop

Wendy S Garrett. J Cell Biol. .

Abstract

Cell biology is the study of the structure and function of the unit or units of living organisms. Enabled by current and evolving technologies, cell biologists today are embracing new scientific challenges that span many disciplines. The eclectic nature of cell biology is core to its future and remains its enduring legacy.
