Robert Remak was a prominent embryologist, physiologist, and neurologist known for his groundbreaking discoveries in cell biology. He demonstrated that cells originate from pre-existing cells, a concept later plagiarized by Rudolf Virchow. Remak’s research on cell division in various organisms contributed to the understanding of universal cell generation. He also simplified Karl Ernst von Baer’s germ layer theory and identified Schwann cells around nerve fibers, now known as Remak cells. Despite facing discrimination, Remak made significant contributions to the field of neuroscience.
