Abstract
The present invention provides methods of identifying and using compounds that modulate cell motility. Such compounds can be used to inhibit cancer cell metastasis or promote neurite growth and regenaration. The methods generally relate to the repellent-receptor signalling pathway that controls cellular attachment and detachment to a substratum.
