remove rows that contain zeros from cells array in matlab

I have a cell array resulted from a certain code as follows:
m =
[ 0] 'GO:0008150'
'GO:0008150' 'GO:0016740'
'GO:0016740' 'GO:0016787'
'GO:0016787' 'GO:0006810'
'GO:0008150' 'GO:0006412'
'GO:0016740' 'GO:0004672'
'GO:0016740' 'GO:0016779'
'GO:0016787' 'GO:0004386'
'GO:0016787' 'GO:0003774'
'GO:0016787' 'GO:0016298'
'GO:0006810' 'GO:0016192'
'GO:0006412' 'GO:0005215'
'GO:0004672' 'GO:0030533'
[ 0] 'GO:0008150'
[ 0] 'GO:0016740'
'GO:0008150' 'GO:0016787'
'GO:0008150' 'GO:0006810'
'GO:0006810' 'GO:0006412'
[ 0] 'GO:0004672'
[ 0] 'GO:0016779'
[ 0] 'GO:0004386'
'GO:0016192' 'GO:0003774'
[ 0] 'GO:0016298'
[ 0] 'GO:0016192'
'GO:0006810' 'GO:0005215'
'GO:0005215' 'GO:0030533'
I need to remove the rows which contains zero (for example: in the above cells array m, row one should be deleted because we have a zero in the first column). so how can I create an array from this array that doesn't contain zeros?

If efficiency matters, it should be considered, than cellfun is slow when operating on anonymous functions. Functions handles are better, but the built-in string functions are really fast:
idx = cellfun('isclass', c, 'char');
c = c(idx, :);
What a pitty that TMW hides them in the documentation instead of mentioning their efficiency.
I'm assuming the zeros would only appear in the first column (it seems so from your example), but the following is easily modified if not,
idx=cellfun(@(c) isequal(c,0), m(:,1));
m(idx,:)=[];
