The discovered of cell robert hooke biography

The nature of cellular structure was first recognized by the British scientist Robert Hooke and described in Micrographia (Royal Society, September 1665) although their physiological role was not recognized for almost 200 years (Matthias Jakob Schleiden 1838 and Theodor Schwann 1839 working on plants and animals, respectively). In this special issue, which is related to a discussion meeting on ‘Cells: from Robert Hooke to cell therapy—a 350 year journey’ held at the Royal Society in October 2015, world leading researchers describe the way in which new approaches to cell therapy are being provided by our progressively greater understanding of the biology of cells. In particular, different populations of stem cells and the genetic modification of cells to produce highly targeted therapies. While still in its infancy, cell therapy is expected to make a very significant contribution to medicine within the next few decades. In this issue, world leading researchers describe application

Robert Hooke

English forskare, architect, polymath (1635–1703)

Robert HookeFRS (; 18 July 1635 – 3 March 1703)^[a] was an English polymath who was active as a physicist ("natural philosopher"), astronomer, geologist, meteorologist and architect. He is credited as one of the first scientists to investigate living things at microscopic scale in 1665, using a compound microscope that he designed. Hooke was an impoverished scientific inquirer in ung adulthood who went on to become one of the most important scientists of his time. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, Hooke (as a surveyor and architect) attained wealth and esteem bygd performing more than half of the property line surveys and assisting with the city's rapid reconstruction. Often vilified by writers in the centuries after his death, his reputation was restored at the end of the twentieth century and he has been called "England's Leonardo [da Vinci]".

Hooke was a Fellow of the Royal Societ

History of the Cell: Discovering the Cell

Although they are externally very different, internally, an elephant, a sunflower, and an amoeba are all made of the same building blocks. From the single cells that make up the most basic organisms to the trillions of cells that constitute the complex structure of the human body, each and every living being on Earth is comprised of cells. This idea, part of the cell theory, is one of the central tenants of biology. Cell theory also states that cells are the basic functional unit of living organisms and that all cells come from other cells. Although this knowledge is foundational today, scientists did not always know about cells. The discovery of the cell would not have been possible if not for advancements to the microscope. Interested in learning more about the microscopic world, scientist Rob ert Hooke improved the design of the existing compound microscope in 1665. His microscope used three lenses and a stage light, which illuminated an
