Cell Biology Research Questions
Cell biologists study phenomena inside a cell. They ask questions such as: how do different cellular components interact with each other during cell division
, how do microtubules (MTs) form, what molecules are MTs composed of and how do MTs catch and move chromosomes to the right place at the right time.
Here is a list of C. elegans cell biology research questions to get you to start thinking about research in cell biology.
