 In terms of content, however, the break between cytology and cell biology was nowhere near as sharp as the founders of cell biology portrayed. Cowdry’s General Cytology (1924) clearly had similar aspirations of linking studies of morphology and studies of cellular chemistry (see discussions by historians, philosophers, and biologists of Cowdry’s project in Matlin, Maienschein, &amp; Laubichler 2018). But in terms of the institutions in which scientists conducted their research, the break was quite significant. With the creation of professional societies using the name “cell biology”, biologists began to self-identify as cell biologists. Laboratories and academic departments adopted the name cell biology and funding agencies recognized cell biology as a supported field of research.
