Theordor Schwann (1810-1882) was the major founder of the "Cell Theory".
"Absolutely fundamental to Schwann's conception was this belief that the containing membrane---of cell or nucleus---was prior in importance to its contents. The content of the cellular cavity , i.e., of the inter-space (Zwischenraum) between the nuclear and cellular membranes, was typically, for Schwann, a homogeneous, transparent liquid.
In his view, the control of the cell's activities, insofar as these were interpreted by him, was localized in its membranes, especially the outer membrane. ...The membrane possesses a "plastic power"...And there is (also) a "metablic power" , Schwann said, by which the membrane chemically alters the fluid substances adjacent to it---the Zwischenkeimstoff outside and the cell content (Inhalt) within..."
