What happens when normal cells are grown in a dish containing all the requirements necessary?

Normal cells stop growing when they encounter another cell.


What is contact inhibition in cells?

Cancer cells do NOT exhibit contact inhibition, meaning that when they come in contact with another cell, the do NOT stop growing.


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

Normal cells typically stop growing in a petri dish once they have formed a single layer because they rely on contact inhibition to regulate their growth. When a cell is in contact with other cells and its surroundings, it sends signals to slow down division to prevent overcrowding and maintain tissue homeostasis. Once a single layer is reached, cells receive enough signals to halt their growth.


Which part of the body does not stop grow from birth?

The only part of the body that does not stop growing after birth is the brain. Brain cells continue to develop and form new connections throughout life in a process called neuroplasticity.


What problems can occur in the cell cycle?

It's possible, that a cell can get sick and not know when to stop growing. If it doesn't know when to stop growing, then it will continue to make more cells uncontrollably. Eventually, it starts to form into cancer. That's actually how people get cancer. Since the cell doesn't know to stop producing, it ends up spreading cancer. That's why if you go to the doctor soon after you get cancer, they can stop it. They just kill those sick cells.

What happens to cells at the edge of an injury when a cut in the skin or a break in a bone occurs?

When a person breaks a bone or has a cut, the cells at the edge of the injury are stimulated to divide rapidly. The new cells that form begin to heal the break or cut. As it heals, the cells stop dividing and growing.


What explains why cells stop growing when they touch other cells?

because they're in love with each other, but they can't have babies. so their love stops growing and they move apart.

What do cancer cells that metastasize lack?

Cancer cells lack the appropriate response to stop growing...something known as cell recognition. Most cells stop growth when they come in contact with one another, but cancer cells do not. This is why they are so harmful.


Does cancer start when cells stop growing and dividing?

everybody is born with cancer cell. No cancer does not start when cells have stoped growing and dividing. it is simply because the cancer cells are getting agrrivated witch makes it start.


What happens if cells stop dividing?

Then the cell colony and the organism it is associated with will die
