  Matthias Jakob Schleiden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthias Jakob Schleiden (April 5, 1804 - June 23, 1881) was a German botanist and co-founder of the cell theory.
Schleiden was educated at Heidelberg and practiced law in Hamburg but soon developed his hobby of botany into a full-time pursuit.
Schleiden was one of the first German biologists to accept Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

 BookRags: Matthias Jakob Schleiden Summary
Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) are generally regarded as the first scientists to establish cell theory.
Schleiden studied law at the University of Heidelberg, but he was so unsuccessful in his attempts to establish a law practice in Hamburg that he was driven to suicide.
Schleiden's work was confined to the plant world, but it was his work on cell theory that stimulated Schwann's study of the role of the cell in animals.

The conclusions of Schleiden and Schwann are considered to represent the official formulation of 'cell theory' and their names are almost as closely linked to cell theory as are those of Watson and Crick with the structure of DNA4, 14.
The botanist Matthias Jakob Schleiden was born in Hamburg, Germany on April 5th 1804.
Schleiden studied law at Heidelberg and practiced as a legal advocate in Hamburg, Germany until 1831.

 Matthias Jakob Schleiden
Matthias Jakob Schleiden (1804-1881) was a German botanist and co-founder of the cell theory.
He also recognised the importance of the cell nucleus, discovered in 1831 by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown[?], and sensed its connection with cell division.
He became professor of botany at Dorpat, Russia, (today Tartu, Estonia) in 1863.

 Matthias Schleiden's Birthday
Schleiden observed that all plants seemed to be composed of cells, and he proposed that these cells were the most basic unit of life in the plants.
Together, Schleiden and Schwann unified botany and zoology under a common theory that the cell is the basic structural unit of living organisms, both animal and plant.
Schleiden wrote a number of books and papers over the course of his life including Introduction to Scientific Botany (1842-1843), Manual of Botany Doctor-Pharmaceutics (1852-1857) and The Plants and their Life (1864).

The current concept of the cell theory derives from the work of three Germans: Matthias Jakob Schleiden (1804-1881), Theodor Schwann (1810-1887), and Rudolph Virchow (1821-1902)
In 1838, Schleiden argued that each plant cell "leads a double life," as an individual cell and as a part of a multicellular plant; he also recognized the importance of the nucleus in plant cells
In 1855, Virchow extended the cell theory of Schleiden and Schwann to medicine, claiming that cells originate only from pre-existing cells
