Contact inhibition refers to a reduction in the rate of cell migration and/or cell proliferation in
regions of high cell density. Under normal conditions, contact inhibition is associated with …

Control of cell proliferation is a fundamental aspect of tissue physiology central to
morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer. Although many of the molecular genetic factors …

Contact-inhibition of proliferation constrains epithelial tissue growth, and the loss of contact-
inhibition is a hallmark of cancer cells. In most physiological scenarios, cell–cell contact …

Contact inhibition is a central feature orchestrating cell proliferation in culture experiments;
its loss is associated with malignant transformation and tumorigenesis. We performed a co …

Regulation of cell proliferation is a crucial aspect of tissue development and homeostasis
and plays a major role in morphogenesis, wound healing, and tumor invasion. A …

The concept of contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL) describes the ability of a cell to change
the direction of its movement after contact with another cell. It has been shown to be …

Contact inhibition is a cell property that limits the migration and proliferation of cells in
crowded environments. Here we investigate the growth dynamics of a cell colony composed …

It has long been appreciated that proliferation of many cells is inhibited by density, a
phenomenon that is often attributed to cell–cell contact. The basic properties of this …

Exclusion processes on a regular lattice are used to model many biological and physical
systems at a discrete level. The average properties of an exclusion process may be …

Biological spread cells exist in a perpetually fluctuating state and therefore cannot be
described in terms of a unique deterministic system. For modeling approaches to provide …
