To begin an article here, feel free to edit this page, but please do not create merely a dictionary definition.

The loss of cell division when one cell contact with another cell when optimum size and volume of the tissue has been formed. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

Sloan-Kettering - Projects: Merlin/NF-2 Contact Inhibition of Growth and Tumor Suppression (261 words)
Cancer cells are refractory to this contact inhibition of growth.
We are using biochemistry and optical imaging to examine the signaling mechanisms underlying contact inhibition.
Biochemical and imaging studies indicate that de-phosphorylated Merlin mediates contact inhibition of growth by suppressing Rac signaling.
Jahrbuch-CD der MPG 2003 - Contact inhibition of VEGF-indu (236 words)
β-Catenin-null endothelial cells are not contact inhibited by VE-cadherin and are still responsive to VEGF, indicating that this protein is required to restrain growth factor signaling.
Overall the data indicate that VE-cadherin-β-catenin complex participates in contact inhibition of VEGF signaling.
In sparse cells or in VE-cadherin-null cells, this phenomenon cannot occur and the receptor is fully activated by the growth factor.
