Cell size is determined by the balance between biosynthesis (cell mass accumulation rate) and proliferation (cell division rate). In turn, cell size can affect many important physiological processes—such as proliferation, growth rate, aging, stress response, regeneration, insulin sensitivity, and others. ©BioRender—biorender.com was used for image.
