  Theodor Schwann - Biocrawler
Theodor Schwann (December 7, 1810 - January 11, 1882) was a German physiologist, histologist and cytologist.
Schwann became professor at the Belgium University of Louvain, in 1838, and Liège, in 1848.
Schwann coined the term "metabolism" to describe the chemical changes that take place in living tissue and formulated the basic principles of embryology by observing that an egg is a single cell that will eventually develop into a complete organism.

  Theodor Schwann
Schwann proved that animal cells are in morphological and physiological accordance with those of plants, and that all animal tissues proceed partly from cells and are partly composed of them.
Schwann also discovered the cells of the nails and feathers, what are called the Tomes fibres of the teeth, the nuclei of the smooth and striped muscle-fibres, and the envelope of the nerve-fibres (Schwann's envelope).
Moreover, in 1836 he discovered that pepsin was the substance that produced albuminous digestion in the stomach; in 1844 he produced the first artificial gastric fistula, and called attention to the importance of the gall in digestion.

Theodore Schwann (December 7, 1810 - January 11, 1882) was a German physiologist, histologist and cytologist.
Among his many contributions to biology there was the development of cell theory, the discovery of Schwann cells in the nervous system, the discovery and study of pepsin, the discovery of the organic nature of yeast and the invention of the term metabolism.
Schwann was thus the first of Müller's pupils who broke with the traditional vitalism and worked towards a physico-chemical explanation of life.

 Schwann cell at AllExperts
Named after the German physiologist Theodor Schwann, Schwann cells are a variety of neuroglia that mainly provide myelin insulation to axons in the peripheral nervous system of jawed vertebrates.
Non-myelinating Schwann cells are involved in maintenance of axons and are crucial for neuronal survival.
Schwann cells begin to form the myelin sheath in mammals during fetal development and work by spiraling around the axon, sometimes with as many as 100 revolutions.
