An anchorage dependent cell is a cell that cannot grow without a stable or inert surface. It would be the type of cell that would grow on a petri dish.

This phenomenon is an example of density-independent inhibition, where the cells stop proliferating once the wound is healed and do not continue to grow beyond the needed replacement. Density-dependent inhibition refers to cells stopping proliferation when in contact with neighboring cells, and anchorage independence is the ability of cells to grow without adhering to a surface.

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.

What is Anchorage dependence?

Anchorage dependence is a biological phenomenon where cells require physical attachment to a surface in order to survive and proliferate. Cells grown in suspension without anchorage typically undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). This property is often studied in the context of cancer research and tissue culture.

What is the difference between anchorage length and development length?

Anchorage length is the required distance to transfer a load and is dependent on the materials used. Development length is the length of the reinforcement bar or rod required to transfer the load safely to another bar.
