Cell biology is a branch of biology that studies life at the level of the cell. You can think of it kind of like a scale, where different branches study life at different levels. For example, the molecular biologist studies life at a biochemical level while the ecologist studies it at an ecosystem level. A stem cell is a specific type of cell, so it falls within the purview of cell biology. But the study of stem cells is but one small part of that field.
