Schwann and M.J. Schleiden introduced the cell theory; the theory that individual cells make up all tissues.1 However‚ due to the lack of staining techniques at the time‚ not much was known about nervous tissue and many scientists wondered if it even conformed to the same rules followed by all the other cells in the body. Two major theories were proposed regarding the nervous system: the reticular theory by Josef van Gerlach‚ and the neuron doctrine theory.1 Eventually‚ in 1873‚ an Italian scientist

Depending on the cancer that one may have cancer cells have more chromosomes that are scattered which is for why cancer cells are formed. In cell division all living things obtain cells in which come from other preexisting cells. If normal cells are do not divide and make new cells then cancer will occur. In order of all cells to be

Biology Notes 1. Organisms are made of cells that have similar structural characteristics. 1 Outline the historical development of the cell theory‚ in particular the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown. The development of the cell theory starts in the 1600ʼs with Robert Hookeʼs discovery of cells when viewing a piece of cork under a microscope and describing them as a nun house. Anton van Leeuwenhoek was crucial in the development of microscopes making simple microscopes through advanced

possible‚ that cancer cells have the same characteristics as normal stem cells and that is why they grow and invade rapidly? And if so can scientist and doctors use this information to find a permanent cure or a better way to stop cancer? The vague knowledge about how cancer is formed is that our healthy genes are suddenly mutated. They are most likely mutated during a process called mitosis. Mitosis is apart of the cell life cycle. First‚ a cells

microscopic objects such as cells. The first to accomplish this was Robert Hooke when he used a light microscope to observe a thin slice of cork. Hooke observed that the cork was made of tiny structures of which he called cells. Hooke was in fact looking at the cell walls of dead plant cells that make up the cork. After Hooke‚ a Dutch scientist named Anton van Leeuwenhoek used the light microscope to observe living cells inside stagnant rain water. This then developed the cell theory in which all living

have a huge impact on the communication between cells. Cell communication is a crucial process necessary for cells to carry out various functions. Drugs such as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‚ known as ecstasy‚ can create barriers or confusion to cells. Cell to cell communication carry messages from signaling cells to target cells. Usually a cell will bind with a target cell through a receptor protein in the plasma membrane of the target cell
