摘　　要：In today’s biology and even the whole field of natural science,“cell”is undoubtedly a central concept.Even in everyday life,it is a well-known common word.Then,who could have thought that“xibao”(细胞),the Chinese word for“cell”,was not coined by a biologist,but was instead the inspired idea of a mathematician!
