There are many cells that loose their capability to divide after certain period of time ( a phenomenon known as replicative senescence in molecular Biology). These cells are differentiated and are accustomed to the functions to which they are destined. Most of the cells in the animals are not able to divide, the best examples being neurons and cardiac cells.
What else can I help you with?
Why don't nerve cells go through mitosis?
Nerve cells do not go through mitosis because they are in a non-dividing phase called G0 phase. Once nerve cells mature, they lose the ability to divide and replicate. This is because they have specialized structures and functions that would be disrupted by cell division.
Do stem cells grow faster than cancer cells?
Stem cells do not necessarily grow faster than cancer cells. Cancer cells can divide more rapidly and uncontrollably than stem cells, which can contribute to the aggressive nature of cancer growth. However, stem cells have the ability to divide and differentiate into various cell types, while cancer cells typically lose this ability.
Do xylem cells undergo cell division?
No, xylem cells are "dead" cells and therefore do not undergo cell division.
What is the disease where the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth called?
The disease is called cancer. It occurs when normal cells undergo genetic mutations that cause them to divide uncontrollably and form tumors.
What happens to meristematic tissue when its loses ability to divide?
Meristematic tissue that loses the ability to divide will no longer contribute to the growth of the plant. It will become differentiated into specialized cells and no longer have the capacity for continuous cell division. This can affect the overall growth and development of the plant.
Ability lost by some specialized cells?
Some specialized cells may lose their ability to divide and reproduce, known as senescence, as they mature and carry out their specific functions. This loss of cell division capability helps maintain tissue structure and function but also limits the cells' ability to repair or regenerate. Examples include nerve cells and muscle cells.
Why damage cells in the brain or spinal are not replaced?
Because those cells lack the ability to divide. Once nerve cells specialize from stem cells, they lose the ability to go through mitosis
Why damage cells in the brain or spinal cord are not replaced?
Because those cells lack the ability to divide. Once nerve cells specialize from stem cells, they lose the ability to go through mitosis
Can a mature red blood cell divide?
No, mature red blood cells do not have a nucleus or organelles required for cell division. They are produced in the bone marrow from stem cells but lose their nucleus during development, making them unable to divide.

Cancer is a disease in which some cells lose ability to control their?
Their Growth Rate. It's the high school bookworm again! :D
How is breast cancer caused?
Breast cancer is caused by cells that lose control over how fast they replicate. Cancer cells divide quickly and rapidly, and they can invade surrounding tissues. Cancer cells can also travel to lymph nodes and to other sites in the body.
What is a disorder in which cells lose the ability to control their growth rate?
Cancer is the disorder that causes someone's own cells in their body to lose the ability to control growth.
What is the disease where the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth called?
The disease is called cancer. It occurs when normal cells undergo genetic mutations that cause them to divide uncontrollably and form tumors.
