Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation: A Multitype Branching Process Model (Lecture Notes in Biomathematics)

The book develops a model for stem cell proliferation and differentiation. It is a substantial generalization of the famous Till and McCulloch model. It describes the growth of stem cells in culture and the formation of both progenitor cells and end cells. The book contains a biologically realistic application of branching processes and should be of interest to mathematics students and teachers of stochastic process courses.
