Influences on cell division Chemical factors Physical factors
Chemical factors Growth factors;
Physical factors Density-dependent inhibition Anchorage dependence
Death is part of a cell life cycle
What happens when the cell cycle malfunctions?
Cancer cells are rounder / larger Cancerous leukemia cells (L) & normal marrow cells (R)
Cancer cells produce their own signals to divide
Cancer cells do not display density-dependent inhibition
Cancer cells do not display anchorage dependence
Cancer cells can stimulate the development of blood vessels
Cancer cells are essentially immortal HeLa cells, 1951
