Virchows Cellular pathology: Holder of the second edition of 1859
Cell pathology is a doctrine, which explains that diseases are generated on the basis of disorders of the body's cells and their functions.
This doctrine was developed in the 1850s by Friedrich Günzburg (1820-1859) and Robert Remak (1815-1865). Later Rudolf Virchow extended it with different original researches and published Die cellularpathologie in ihrer Begründung auf physiologische und pathologische Gewebenlehre (Cell pathology based on pathological and physiological histology), but he avoided mentioning and giving credits to the precursory works in his publication.
Cell pathology replaced, as a concept of disease, humoral pathology, valid since antiquity, generating a global revolution in the conception of pathogenesis and disease in general. Along with microbiology, it forms the foundation of academic medicine.
