Abstract Individual cell growth can be affected by the presence of adjacent cells through a complex and multi-factorial biological process known alternatively as contact inhibition or confluence sensing. In a previous paper [Hall, D. 2023 Equations describing semi-confluent cell growth (I) Analytical approximations. Biophysical Chemistry, 307, 107173, pp. 1-9] , sets of differential equations (with implicit analytical solutions) were developed to describe completely symmetrical cases of multicel
