Abstract: | Generalized equations are developed for the age structure of growing cell populations when other parameters besides chronological
age are taken into account. These are summarized in a parameter which we call “chronological age”. The theory is Markovian
in spirit and leads to an integro-differential equation for population density which generalizes several equations now appearing
in the literature. Approximations to the fundamental equation are suggested. |
