Cytology can be used to diagnose a condition and spare a patient from surgery to obtain a larger specimen. An example is thyroid FNAC; many benign conditions can be diagnosed with a superficial biopsy and the patient can go back to normal activities right away.
Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. [1] [2] All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [3] Cell biology is the study of the structural and functional ...
Cytology has contributed to tracking the evolutionary history of many organisms, especially primates and flowering plants. As example, karyotype comparisons have largely clarified the evolution of Arabidopsis thaliana [ 3 ] and of saffron crocus , [ 4 ] though there are many more studies that deserve highlighting.

Light micrograph of a moss's leaf cells at 400X magnification. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cell biology: . Cell biology – A branch of biology that includes study of cells regarding their physiological properties, structure, and function; the organelles they contain; interactions with their environment; and their life cycle, division, and death.
CytoJournal is a peer-reviewed PubMed-indexed open access online scientific journal on cytology that publishes research articles and information related to all aspects of diagnostic cytopathology, including topics such as molecular cytopathology. It is owned and supported by a non-profit organization (Cytopathology Foundation Inc, USA).
The Terminologia Histologica (TH) is the controlled vocabulary for use in cytology and histology. [1] [2] In April 2011, Terminologia Histologica was published online [3] by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT), the successor of FCAT. It was intended to replace Nomina Histologica.
A metaphase cell positive for the BCR/ABL rearrangement using FISH. Cytogenetics is essentially a branch of genetics, but is also a part of cell biology/cytology (a subdivision of human anatomy), that is concerned with how the chromosomes relate to cell behaviour, particularly to their behaviour during mitosis and meiosis.
