Age-structured cell population model to study the influence of growth factors on cell cycle dynamics by Frédérique Billy, Jean Clairambault, Franck Delaunay, Céline Feillet, Natalia Robert

“…Cell proliferation is at its first stages exponential and is thus characterised by its growth exponent, the first eigenvalue of the linear system we consider here, a growth exponent that we will explicitly evaluate from biological data.Moreover, this study relies on recent and innovative imaging data (fluorescence microscopy) that make us able to experimentally determine the parameters of the model and to validate numerical results.This model has allowed us to study the degree of simultaneity of phase transitions within a proliferating cell population and to analyse the role of an increased growth factor concentration in this process.…”
