Stochastic models in cell kinetics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
We discuss the role of stochastic processes in modelling the life-cycle of a biological cell and the growth of cell populations. Results for multiphase age-dependent branching processes have proved invaluable for the interpretation of many of the basic experimental studies of the life-cycle. Moreover problems from cell kinetics, in particular those related to diurnal rhythm in cell-growth, have stimulated research into ‘periodic' renewal theory, and the asymptotic behaviour of populations of cells with periodic death rate.
