Point Processes, Product Densities and celular Biology

Abstract

In this paper an attempt is made to explain how point processes have been successfully used in modeling cell biology problems. In particular we demonstrate the utility of the product density techniques in dealing with cells subject to radiation. In this paper, we propose two types of stochastic models: the first one is concerned with cell repair based on enzyme kinetics and the second one with parity of cells in tumor growth. Using product density techniques, we device several key statistical characteristics of the models.

 

Key words: Stochastic models, Point processes, Cell repair, Parity of cells.
