精彩書摘

The life cycle of each cell can be summarized as follows：Each cell is created a8 an ellipsoidal solid with random orientation and volume fwithin
a pre-determined interval）．A finite element mesh iS created as described in Section 1．2．Each of the cells holds an internal“clock”that measures the elapsed time since its creation．For a pre-determined period of time．the cell grows isotropically as described in Section 1．3 reaching at the end an“adult” volume which will remain unchanged（except for the possible deformationl until the eventual death or duplication of the cell．
0nce a cell is considered to be adult it might divide itself．A random ari-
able is sampled at birth determining a dividing pressure（in our simulations
we have employed an exponential distribution）．Approximately every hour （the precise interval is randomly selected for each cell），the average pressure in the cell iS compared with the dividing pressure．If the former iS smaller．the cell divides，and otherwise it remains quiescent．Due to this algorithm．cells in the cluster surface are more prone to divide those in the core．When a cell divides．two small cells are generated close to the center of the parent cell with random orientation．For geometrical reasons，each of these child cells must have a rather small volume SO that，in their creation，they do not overlap with neighboring cells but rather fit within the volume previously occupied by the parent cell．In a short period，each of the two children grows untilits volume becomes close to half of the volume of its parent cell．with the iireFences related to the randomness in the cell original dimensions．These ariations are small and，more importantly，have no effect on average upon he balance of ass．We note that this algorithmic growth is unrelated with the cell true iological growth which iS described in Section 1．2．At birth，every cell also amples a random life duration．which in our simulations followed a Weibull distribution．If a cell becomes too old．it simplv dies and isappears．This often happens to cells in the core，whose average pressure is high and rarely divides．whereas in the cells closer to the surface such phenomenon iS more unlikely．because the cells’clocks reset every time they divide．The last two phenomena have been observed in experiments．as
explained in Introduction，and are ultimately responsible for the saturated
growth laws shown in Section 1．7．
