Description: (German Physiologist Known for Discovering the Three Germ Layers of Embryo: 'Ectoderm', 'Mesoderm' and 'Endoderm')
Robert Remak was a prominent scientist known for his groundbreaking discoveries in cell biology. He demonstrated that cells originate from pre-existing cells, a concept later adopted by Rudolf Virchow. Remak's research on cell division in various organisms contributed to our understanding of how cells are generated. He also simplified the germ layer theory and identified Schwann cells surrounding nerve fibers, now referred to as Remak cells. Despite facing discrimination, he made significant contributions to the field of neuroscience.
