Robert Brown discovers the nucleus of the cell. He stresses its importance in fertilization.

Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann create cell theory. The theory states that all living things are made up of one or more cells. Schleiden publishes his cell theory applying it to plants, while Schwann publishes his applied to animals. Theodor Schwann discovers special cells that form a sheath around nerve axons. They are now called Schwann cells. He conducts experiments to help disprove spontaneous generation once and for all.

Rudolf Virchow writes and publishes his aphorism omnis cellula e cellula, which means every cell stems from another cell. He theorizes that all forms of disease come from changes in normal cells. Robert Remak discovers a method to isolate the membrane of the cell and proves that it divides a cell.

Gregor Johann Mendel, a monk in Austria, begins experimenting with pea plants. He is later known as the father of genetics for his work tracking genetic changes in his peas.

Rudolf Virchow heartily endorses cell division and the role it plays in pathology.

Charles Darwin, and English biologist, publishes the Origin of Species that explains heredity and variations in different species.
