Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several possible scenarios of cellular dynamics in human colonic crypts have been inferred from transgenic animal experiments. However, because of the discrepancy in size and physiology between humans and animals, quantitative predictions of tissue renewal and cancer development are difficult to execute. METHODS: A two-dimensional individual based model was developed for the first time to predict...
