Mechanisms and in vivo functions of contact inhibition of locomotion

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 18, 43 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.118 Authors: Brian Stramer & Roberto Mayor Contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL) is a process whereby a cell ceases motility or changes its trajectory upon collision with another cell. CIL was initially characterized more than half a century ago and became a widely studied model system to understand how cells migrate and
