"Cell function" refers to the specific tasks or activities that cells perform in the body. These functions include things like producing energy, replicating themselves, and carrying out specialized roles like nerve transmission or hormone secretion. Essentially, it describes the jobs that cells do to keep our bodies functioning properly.

how cells function.
This may include assessment of liver, kidney, intestinal, and
blood cell functions as well as screening for metabolic disorders.

nerve cell function.
It can affect the activity of many other genes and, therefore, have a major effect
on cell function.

regulate cell function in the body.
Vitamin C plays a vital role by supporting immune function, helping white blood
cells function normally, and it also promotes cartilage growth and tissue repair.
A 2012 study by a related research team emphasized the connections between sleep loss and the disruption of human
fat cell function in energy regulation.
This can lead to their killing ability being disrupted, and can often cause problems with
B cell function too.

vital cell function — helping you age better and stay active.
Most recently, researchers essentially created a magnetic remote control that
alters cell function and changes the behavior of a tiny worm.
Reducing vitamin B12 levels in bone cells in the laboratory did not affect the function of the bone - forming cells directly, while under the same conditions it affected
liver cell functions profoundly.

cell functions such as self - renewal and differentiation.
For example, only about 2 percent of our genome provides instructions for building the proteins that
keep cells functioning.
These proteins constantly move along the strands of our DNA, turning specific genes on and off to make
sure cells function as expected.
