First, they no longer require contact with the surface of a culture dish ... and a reduction in the contact inhibition that normally prevents the cells from becoming too crowded.

For cells growing in culture, quiescence—the reversible exiting of the cell cycle—is brought about by several stimuli: for example, contact inhibition, loss of adhesion or, as in the case of ...

We therefore investigated whether FAAH inhibition is protective in our cell culture model of PD. Methods SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were differentiated with retinoic acid. The PD relevant neurotoxin ...

This may be explained by methodological factors including cell isolation techniques, cell types and ambient pH. In this study, we tested whether the use of protease XIV (PXIV) may abrogate inhibition ...

and thus overcoming cell contact inhibition. This cellular pathway is highlighted as follows: YAP also regulates cell fate decisions early in development. Nishioka et al. 2 showed that ...
