What are density dependent inhibition and anchorage dependence and how do they relate to cancerous cells?

Basically, regular cells, otherwise known as somatic cells, abide by these two inhibitors. A normal, healthy somatic cell will grow and divide until it meets an impassible barrier, such as the edge of a petri dish. This is density dependent inhibition. Such cells also have to be touching some kind of surface in order for the cell to begin to divide. This is known as anchorage dependency. Both of these relate to cancer cells as these cell do not follow these two rules. The cells will continue to divide until they are killed, as they do not follow any of these inhibitors.


How does use dependence impact the effectiveness of a particular medication or substance?

Use dependence can impact the effectiveness of a medication or substance by causing the body to develop a tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect. This can lead to increased risk of side effects and potential overdose. Additionally, dependence can result in withdrawal symptoms when the substance is stopped, making it difficult to discontinue use.

What is an example of anchorage dependence?

Anchorage dependence is a phenomenon where cells require attachment to a solid surface or extracellular matrix to divide and grow. For example, normal epithelial cells, which line surfaces in the body, need to adhere to a basement membrane to proliferate. If these cells are suspended in a culture medium without attachment, they will not undergo cell division, illustrating their dependence on anchorage for growth. This contrasts with cancer cells, which can grow and divide without such attachment.
