The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation ...

The cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665.

Specific cell populations also formed cellular communities in various combinations, with signaling pathways between the cell populations within the community defining their structure and function.
