To me it's by far the most plausable explanation as it explains things like this:
No they don't...

Android 16 Vs Imperfect Cell: The juggernaut of an Android tears of Cell's tail like nothing gives him the bee-fly speech (if it was spontaneous it would have came back straight away). Cell then continues to speak yet no regeneration. Cell controls his regeneration.

Super Saiyan Grade 2 Vegeta Vs Perfect Cell: The amazing blast from Vegeta's Final Flash manages to destory Cell's arm and upper torso. 16 YES 16 pannels of everyone looking at the damage as he hasn't regenerated yet.

(The red writing isn't realy important, I used these pictures for soemthing else)







Conclusion:
-Remember Cell has Piccolo's cells. Piccolo controls when he regenarates; he was standing infront of Cell (the first time they met, after Piccolo's sync with Kami) with a half blown-off arm for a good few pannels showing there not spontaneous, nor is Cells. They both choose when to regenerate themselves.

They can regenerate, they just never did on screen, lol. Gohan obliterated them, so they were killed. Maybe he blew one's head off, then the screen was pointed at the other Z-fighter's talking while he obliterated them.

That pure speculation. You simply don't know. Obliterated or not, your telling mt not a single thread of them survived, unlikely as Perfect managed to survive his own explosion to become Perfect Cell with a tiny thread of a cell.

I noticed that they couldn't regenerate a while ago.
Cell Jrs may look like Cell, but they seem to only have his basic abilities and techniques.

They don't even have tails for consuming organic matter.

I honestly think they should have been able to. The fact that they couldn't is just a plot hole.

Gohan obliterated the cell jrs with punches and kicks an not Ki Blasts... so it's not like he was destroying every cell in the body. Also attacking this "nucleus cell" is wrong. Every cell contained information to regenerate cell to perfect form and then some. Don't forget Cell blew himself up and came back using just one of his cells.

Yeah but thats even more of a plot hole, as when Cell blew himself up your telling me the explosion destroyed all of his cells except one? No, it would be like Kid Buu, when he exploded a few cells were left thus it would create 5-7 Cells. As Piccolo's regeneration doesn't absorb he Cell around him to reform his original self like he Majin Buus. Cell's Super Perfect regeneration is another plot hole.

Well the point of me stating that Cell used a single cell after self destruction was to prove that their is no "Nucleus Cell" that controls them all. If piccolo loses his head he dies and obviously can't regenerate. However cell can lose his head.

But I agree it is another plot hole.
