How to apply for loop for cell arrays?

I have a matrix that I want dividing it to n matrices, say n = 2, and do some operations along their lengths. The second chain of ‘for’ loops does what I need when there is one matrix, as in the case of the parent matrix (a). But I can’t apply same procedure for the two cell arrays I have.

clear all
clc
a =(1000-0).*rand(10,2)+0 ;
[r,c] = size(a) ;
mina = [1 7] ;
maxa = [6 10] ;
b = cell(numel(mina),1) ;
for o = 1:numel(mina)
    b{o} = a(mina(o): maxa(o),:);
end

max_a= zeros(r,c);
for i = 1:r
    for j = 1:c
        max_a(i,j) = max(a(1:i,j)) ;
    end
end

This following lines was what I tried before but it doesn’t work.

for u = 1:numel(mina)
    b2(1:maxa(u),:) = cell2mat(b(u)) ;
    for i2 = mina(u):maxa(u)
        for j2 = 1:c
            max_a {u} = max(b2(1:i2,j2)) ;
        end
    end
end

With your given example, can you show what the output of your last loop should be, as I've no idea what you're trying to do with it.

Note that if you have a recent version of matlab, your first max_a is simply:

max_a = cummax(a);

a =(1000-0).*rand(10,2)+0
[r,c] = size(a)
mina = [1 7] ;
maxa = [6 10] ;
b = cell(numel(mina),1) ;
for o = 1:numel(mina)
  b{o} = a(mina(o): maxa(o),:);
end
for k=1:numel(b)
  bb=b{k};
  [r,c]=size(bb);
  max_a= zeros(r,c);
  for i = 1:r
      for j = 1:c
          max_a(i,j) = max(a(1:i,j)) ;
      end
  end
  max_b{k}=max_a
end

Thank you Azzi for the help.
