What is the role of density-dependent inhibition and Anchorage dependance?
What is the role of density-dependent inhibition and Anchorage dependance? (Science: cell culture) The phenomenon exhibited by most normal (anchorage dependent) animal cells in culture that stop dividing once a critical cell density is reached. What does anchorage dependence depend on? Lesson Summary. Anchorage dependent cells will not grow unless they are attached to a surface, such as a tissue in your body or the wall of a jar in your laboratory. Sometimes anchorage dependent cells will undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death, if they are not attached to a surface. Do cancer cells exhibit anchorage dependence and density-dependent inhibition?...
