Who made the famous statement 'Cells arise from pre-existing cells'.
Virchow
Two German scientists, Mattias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann were instrumental in developing the modern the cell theory. Rudolf Virchow added their postulates that 'Cells arise from pre-existing cells'.
Modern day cell theory states that:
1. All known living things are made up of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
3. All living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division.
