A free boundary model of epithelial dynamics

Abstract:

In this work we analyse a one-dimensional, cell-based model of an epithelial sheet. In the model, cells interact with their nearest neighbouring cells and move deterministically. Cells also proliferate stochastically, with the rate of proliferation specified as a function of the cell length. This mechanical model of cell dynamics gives rise to a free boundary problem. We construct a corresponding continuum-limit description where the variables in the continuum limit description are expanded i...
