- Recognizing the importance of Robert Brown 's discovery of the cell nucleus, Schleiden argued that the nucleus, which he renamed the cytoblast, was an essential component of all plant cells. He believed that all higher plants were aggregates of cells. The cells that made up the plant led a double life.

Mar 2, 2018 · Within a few years, sufficient empirical evidence had accumulated to abandon Schleiden’s concept of cell formation. Because of technical difficulties, it took much longer to accumulate precise observations of animal cell formation. Robert Remak (1815–1865) proposed the first explicit unifying theory of cell division in both plants and animals.

Cell theory, as formulated by Theodor Schwann in 1839, implied that this relationship was a specific and lawful one, i.e. that germs of a certain kind, all else being equal, would produce adult organisms of the same kind, and vice versa. Questions of preformation and epigenesis took on a new meaning under this presupposition.

Apr 21, 2024 · Nearly 200 years later, in 1838, Matthias Schleiden (1804–1881), a German botanist who made extensive microscopic observations of plant tissues, described them as being composed of cells. Visualizing plant cells was relatively easy because plant cells are clearly separated by their thick cell walls.

Schleiden believed that cells formed through crystallization, rather than cell division. Theodor Schwann (1810–1882), a noted German physiologist, made similar microscopic observations of animal tissue. In 1839, after a conversation with Schleiden, Schwann realized that similarities existed between plant and animal tissues.

The ideas of all three scientists — Schwann, Schleiden, and Virchow — led to cell theory, which is one of the fundamental theories unifying all of biology. Cell theory states that: All organisms are made of one or more cells.
