MATLAB: How to read/extract a part of a cell array from a .mat file

cell arraysfilememory

I was wondering if it's possible to read or extract a part of a cell array from a .mat file. For example : say A = cell(100,1). A is stored in test.mat. Now how do I retrieve just the first 10 cells of A from test.mat? The reason why I want to do this is because I don't want to overload the temporary memory.

If you have mat-file Version 7.3, try this but I've never tried it personally,
exampleObject = matfile('filename.mat');
A = exampleObject.A(1:10,1);
