The cells do not carry out cell division when they come in contact with each other. This causes uncontrolled cell growth, which can lead to severe conditions such as cancer.

How do cells respond to contact with other sells?

you spelt cells wrong but they can soemtimes combine or create a bond


What do normal cells do when they come into contact with other cells?

Contact Inhibition


What effect does contact have on cell growth?

When grown in vitro, mammalian cells stop growing when they come into physical contact with other cells. This property of cells in culture is called contact inhibition. This is the reason why cells tend to grow in monolayers in a culture flask.Cancer cells on the other hand, have lost this ability of contact inhibition and therefore tend to over grow


Do normal cells stop growing when they come into contact with other cells?

yes, they stop growing. This property of them is called CONTACT INHIBITATION. Cancer cells lose this property.


When cells avoid direct contact with other cells in neighboring tissues this is know as?

Conact inhibition


How are cancer cells and contact inhibition connected?

Normal cells stop growing and reproducing once their plasma membrane comes into contact with that of another cell. Cancer cells don't. They continue to grow into other cells, taking over and often destroying the other cells, creating a tumor.


Why can't viruses respond to stimuli?

They have no cells. So they do not respond


How do you stop cancer cell from dividing?

"Normal" cells stop dividing when they come into contact with like cells, a mechanism known as contact inhibition. Cancerous cells lose this ability. Pictures of cancer cells show that cancerous cells lose the ability to stop dividing when they contact similar cells.


How do B cells respond to the initial antigen challenge?

B cells respond to the initial antigen challenge by producing progeny cells. The progeny cells include both memory cells and plasma cells.


Why do normal cell grown in a petri dish tend to stop growing once they have covered the bottom of the dish?

because when cells come in contact with each other the cells stop growing


Normal cells stop growing when they come into contact with other cells?

I don't think so at all.


Do T- Cells respond to antigens by becoming plasma cells?

No. B-Cells do.
