The series of events in which information about the density of cells in a population is received by direct cell-cell contact and is converted into a molecular signal, resulting in the cessation of cell growth or proliferation. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The series of events in which information about the density of cells in a population is received by direct cell-cell contact and is converted into a molecular signal. The series of events in which information about the density of cells in a population is received and converted into a molecular signal. The cellular process by which cells stop growing or dividing in response to increased cell density.
