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?
