A model comparing contact inhibition in naked mole-rat to mouse and human. Naked mole-rat cells have two tiers of contact inhibition: early contact inhibition mediated by p16 and regular contact inhibition mediated by p27. In contrast, human and mouse only have regular contact inhibition. The presence of two-tiered contact inhibition may provide naked mole-rats an increased protection against tumor development.
