Cell-to-cell communication and the control of growth

Am Rev Respir Dis. 1990 Dec;142(6 Pt 2):S48-53. doi: 10.1164/ajrccm/142.6_Pt_2.S48.

Abstract

Growth of transformed cells is inhibited by cell-to-cell communication with normal cells. This communication is regulated by certain oncogenes that alone or in cooperation can block the communication.
