- The main model uses two cell classes: cancer stem cells and non-stem cancer cells. — Senescent Cells in Growing Tumors: Population Dynamics and Cancer Stem Cells
- The model defines the cancer stem cell growth parameter E as p2 minus p0. — Senescent Cells in Growing Tumors: Population Dynamics and Cancer Stem Cells
- Non-stem cancer cells divide for a finite number of generations before becoming senescent. — Senescent Cells in Growing Tumors: Population Dynamics and Cancer Stem Cells
- The model predicts that the asymptotic senescent-cell fraction is independent of the number of non-stem cancer-cell generations. — Senescent Cells in Growing Tumors: Population Dynamics and Cancer Stem Cells
- The model omits several in vivo factors such as spatial effects, immune effects, and microenvironmental heterogeneity. — Senescent Cells in Growing Tumors: Population Dynamics and Cancer Stem Cells
