Typically, findings from cell biology have been beneficial for preventing human disease. However, translational applications from cell biology can also be applied to conservation efforts, such as protecting coral reefs. Recent efforts to understand the cell biological mechanisms maintaining coral health such as innate immunity and acclimatization have prompted new developments in conservation. Similar to biomedicine, we urge that future efforts should focus on better frameworks for biomarker development to protect coral reefs.
通常情况下，细胞生物学的研究成果有益于预防人类疾病。然而，细胞生物学的转化应用也可以应用于保护工作，例如保护珊瑚礁。最近，人们努力理解维持珊瑚健康的细胞生物学机制，如先天免疫和适应，这促使了保护生物学的新发展。与生物医学类似，我们敦促未来的努力应侧重于开发更好的生物标志物框架，以保护珊瑚礁。
