Mathematical model for cell competition: Predator-prey interactions at the interface between two groups of cells in monolayer tissue.

Abstract excerpt

The phenomenon of 'cell competition' has been implicated in the normal development and maintenance of organs, such as in the regulation of organ size and suppression of neoplastic development. In cell competition, one group of cells competes with another group through an interaction at their interface. Which cell group "wins" is governed by a certain relative fitness within the cells. However, this idea of...
