How is the loss of contact inhibition related to tumor formation?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
The average normal cells cease splitting up when they get to contact with their adjacent cells, resulting to only needed number of cells split up and stop when not needful.Therefore if cells do lose this feature, they don't terminate splitting up when they come to contact with each other. They constantly increase or multiply rapidly because contact inhibition isn't present hence resulting to tumor formation.
