Any biological process involved in the maintenance of the steady-state of cell number within a population of cells. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The biological process involved in maintaining the steady-state of cell number within a population of free-living cells such as the bacteria in the gut. Any process by which an organism has an effect on another organism of the same or different species. The homeostatic process by which a population of cells changes its metabolic activity resulting in the rate of death in the population equaling the rate of reproduction. Stationary phase can be in response to limited nutrientsor a build-up of toxic substances in the environment. Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state. The process by which single-celled organisms monitor their population density by detecting the concentration of small, diffusible signal molecules produced by the cells themselves.
