Robert Hooke named cells cells because when he looked under a microscope they reminded him of were monks would sleep, little cells.Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to find cells under his homemade microscope. The bacteria he found looked like animals so he called them animalcules, and he used his teeth shavings to use under the microscope.Robert Brown was a scottish botanist who discovered the nucleus inside some plant cells. That then became the first identified major internal cellular structure.Matthias Schleiden said that all plant cell tissues were composed of cells and said that cells were the "basic building block of all plant matter".Theodor Schwann added onto Matthias Schleiden's discovery and said that all animal tissues are also made of cells.Rudolf Virchow made the phrase "Omnis cellula e cellula" popular. That means all cells arise from pre-existing cells. He said that the theory of them popping up out of no where was wrong.James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA. They explained how cells store, replicate and pass on hereditary information.The endosymbiotic theory developed. Established by Lynn Margulis, this theory explains how eukaryotic cells evolved from symbiotic relationships between ancient prokaryotic cells, expanding our understanding of cell lineage.Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi discovered that mature, different cells could be reprogrammed back into induced pluripotent stem cells, completely redefining the boundaries of cell potential.
