Cell theory
All cells come from preexisting cells.
All cells come from preexisting cells.
Rudolf Virchow was trying to advance the concept that diseases have cellular origin and proposed the idea that cells arise from pre-existing cells (omnis cellula e cellula). He aimed to show that diseases are caused by changes within cells themselves, rather than being caused by external factors. Virchow's work laid the foundation for modern cellular pathology and our understanding of the cellular basis of disease.
Virchow proposes that all cells come from existing cells, completing the cell theory.

spontaneous generation does not happen
The theory of spontaneous generation was false.
Rudolph Virchow was rather interesting scientist. He was a biologist, doctor and pathologist. His work using autopsies is still used today. He was famous for his work with others in the theory of cells, in that cells come from other cells. He described and explained many diseases but he did not agree with Darwin about the evolution of man nor did he agree with the germ theory of disease. He considered social factors such as poverty as major cause of diseases.
Spontaneous generation does not happen.
Rudolph Virchow was one of the 19th centuryâ??s most renowned leaders in medicine and pathology. His greatest accomplishment was the observation that a whole organism does not get sick, only certain cells or groups of cells. He was also contributed to society by being a public health activist, social reformer, politician, and anthropologist.
The real, world-class scientists don't work to prove things.They simply try to discover and describe what is.
Rudolf Virchow is responsible for the third tenet of the cell theory, which is that all cells come from other pre-existing cells. In other words, they do not occur through spontaneous generation, also called abiogenesis.
