  2. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    From these conclusions about plants and animals, two of the three tenets of cell theory were postulated. 1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells 2. The cell is the most basic unit of life. Schleiden's theory of free cell formation through crystallization was refuted in the 1850s by Robert Remak, Rudolf Virchow, and Albert ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Virchow

    Illustration of Virchow's cell theory. Virchow is credited with several key discoveries. His most widely known scientific contribution is his cell theory, which built on the work of Theodor Schwann. He was one of the first to accept the work of Robert Remak, who showed that the origin of cells was the division of pre-existing cells. [29]

    Scientist Otto Warburg, whose research activities led to the formulation of the Warburg hypothesis for explaining the root cause of cancer.. The Warburg hypothesis (/ ˈ v ɑːr b ʊər ɡ /), sometimes known as the Warburg theory of cancer, postulates that the driver of carcinogenesis (cancer formation) is insufficient cellular respiration caused by insult (damage) to mitochondria.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialism_controversy

    Illustration of the cell theory in the first edition of Virchow's Archiv für Pathologische Anatomie und Physiologie, 1847. The rise of popular materialism was encouraged by a critique of romantic-idealistic natural philosophy, [5] which became widespread after 1830 and had an equal influence on natural science, philosophy, and politics.

  7. Cancer cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_cell

    Cancer cells are cells that divide continually, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood or lymph with abnormal cells. Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair. A parent cell divides to form two daughter cells, and these daughter cells are used to build new tissue or to replace cells that have died because of ...

  8. Tumor microenvironment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor_microenvironment

    The concept of the tumor microenvironment (TME) dates back to 1863 when Rudolf Virchow established a connection between inflammation and cancer. However, it was not until 1889 that Stephen Paget's seed and soil theory introduced the important role of TME in cancer metastasis, highlighting the intricate relationship between tumors and their surrounding microenvironment.

  9. Carcinogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogenesis

    The cancer stem cell hypothesis proposes that the different kinds of cells in a heterogeneous tumor arise from a single cell, termed Cancer Stem Cell. Cancer stem cells may arise from transformation of adult stem cells or differentiated cells within a body. These cells persist as a subcomponent of the tumor and retain key stem cell properties.
