Cell biology is the study of life at its most fundamental unit: the cell. This field explores how these microscopic building blocks function, communicate, and replicate to sustain living organisms, from the simplest bacteria to complex human tissues. By understanding the machinery inside a cell, scientists unlock secrets about growth, disease, and the very nature of existence itself.

At Gist.Science, we track every new preprint uploaded to bioRxiv within this dynamic category. Our team processes each submission to provide both accessible plain-language explanations and detailed technical summaries, ensuring you can grasp complex discoveries without getting lost in dense jargon. Below are the latest papers in cell biology, offering a fresh look at the inner workings of life as they are shared with the world.

MorphoLearn: A morphology-driven workflow to decipher 3D electron microscopy segmentation in diatoms

This paper introduces MorphoLearn, a morphology-driven AI framework that enables scalable and accurate 3D segmentation of diverse diatom ultrastructures from FIB-SEM data by optimizing lightweight neural networks, leveraging transfer learning, and employing boundary-aware strategies to overcome challenges posed by high morphological variability and limited annotations.
