Stochastic models for cell kinetics

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A survey is given of branching process type methods in cell kinetics. Some results are given that allow circadian rhythm and do not require complete independence between cells. Some more classical results on balanced exponential growth are given and some comments are made on flow microfluorometry.
