What is cell biology?

The journal "Cell" interviewed Anne Simonsen among several prominent cell biologists to get a birds eye view of this vast field. They conclude - "50 years ago, cell biology was a nascent field. Today, it is a vast discipline whose principles and tools are also applied to other disciplines; vice versa, cell biologists are inspired by other fields. So, the question begs: what is cell biology? The answers are as diverse as the people who define it"
