Density-dependent inhibition is a phenomenon in which crowded cells stop dividing at some optimal density and location. This phenomenon involves the binding of a cell-surface protein to its counterpart on an adjoining cell's surface. A growth-inhibiting signal is sent to both cells, preventing them from dividing. Certain external physical factors can affect this inhibition mechanism. True or false?
Different substances such as growth factors and nutrients affect the mechanism of density-dependent inhibition of growth as cells become more and more numerous
