Detailed explanation-1: -Normal cells “stop growing” when they come into contact with other cells. Proteins called “cyclins” help regulate the cell cycle. “Cancer” is a disorder in which some of the body’s cells lose the ability to control growth and division. Lack of control over “mitosis” is the cause of all cancers.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a cell comes into contact with another cell, the two cells attempt to change their locomotion in different directions to avoid a repeat of the same in the future. If they cannot avoid it, they cease their growth and division.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the cell is not grown in the interphase, cells cannot synthesize proteins needed for mitosis. So the process of mitosis cannot be carried in the cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Senescence-in which cells stop growing and dividing-results from serious stress and genetic damage, says study coauthor Stephen Elledge, a geneticist at Harvard Medical School.
