    The document outlines the timeline and key contributors to the development of the Cell Theory from the 1500s to 1855. Some of the major developments include Robert Hooke discovering cells in 1665, Anton van Leeuwenhoek first observing living cells under a microscope in the 1680s, Matthias Schleiden stating in 1838 that plant tissues are made of cells, Theodor Schwann extending this theory to animals in 1839, and Rudolf Virchow cementing the theory in 1855 by stating that all cells come from pre-existing cells.
