Image result for theodor schwann contribution to cell theory
In 1838 Matthias Schleiden had stated that plant tissues were composed of cells. Schwann demonstrated the same fact for animal tissues, and in 1839 concluded that all tissues are made up of cells: this laid the foundations for the cell theory. Schwann also worked on fermentation and discovered the enzyme pepsin.
