STR = CELL2STR(CELLSTR) converts the 2-D cell-string CELLSTR to a MATLAB string so that EVAL(STR) produces the original cell-string.
Works as corresponding MAT2STR but for cell array of strings instead of scalar matrices.

Example
cellstr = {'U-234','Th-230'};
cell2str(cellstr) produces the string '{''U-234'',''Th-230'';}'.
