Contact non-inhibition.

Explanation:

Usually cells have a certain time period upto which it grows and divides. After the end of the specified time period, it is destroyed on the account of one of its own properties, Apoptosis. The latter can be defined as the process in which cell is destroyed after its life period is completed. So this process ensures controlled growth of cells.

Further, the important point to be noted Is that after attaining the particular size and growth, the cells come in contact with each other and stick. This way they do not grow much.
Hence, contact non-inhibition controls cell growth.
