We study the growth rate of a cell population that follows an age-structured PDE with time-periodic coefficients. Our motivation comes from the comparison between experimental tumor growth curves in mice endowed with intact or disrupted circadian clocks, known to exert their influence on the cell division cycle. We compare the growth rate of the model controlled by a time-periodic control on its coefficients with the growth rate of stationary models of the same nature, but with averaged coefficients. We firstly derive a delay differential equation which allows us to prove several inequalities and equalities on the growth rates. We also discuss about the necessity to take into account the structure of the cell division cycle for chronotherapy modeling. Numerical simulations illustrate the results.

Modelling, analysing and inferring triggering mechanisms in population reproduction is fundamental in many biological applications. It is also an active and growing research domain in mathematical biology. In this chapter, we review the main results
developed over the last decade for the estimation of the division rate in growing and dividing populations in a steady environment. These methods combine tools borrowed from PDEs and stochastic processes, with a certain view that emerges from mathematical statistics. A focus on the application to the bacterial cell division cycle provides a concrete presentation, and may help the reader to identify major new challenges in the field.
We develop theoretical equivalences between stochastic and deterministic models for populations of individual cells stratified by age. Specifically, we develop a hierarchical system of equations describing the full dynamics of an age-structured multi
-stage Markov process for approximating cell cycle time distributions. We further demonstrate that the resulting mean behaviour is equivalent, over large timescales, to the classical McKendrick-von Foerster integro-partial differential equation. We conclude by extending this framework to a spatial context, facilitating the modelling of travelling wave phenomena and cell-mediated pattern formation. More generally, this methodology may be extended to myriad reaction-diffusion processes for which the age of individuals is relevant to the dynamics.
Disaffected youth are among the most susceptible in espousing and acting on extremist ideals, as confirmed by demographic studies. To study age-dependent radicalization we introduce a three-stage model where individuals progress through non-radical,
activist, and radical states, while also aging. Transitions between stages are modeled as age-dependent interactions that are maximized for individuals of the same age and that are enhanced at early adulthood. For comparison, we also derive the age-independent formulation corresponding to the full age-dependent model. We find that age-dependence leads to more complex dynamics, enhancing radicalization in certain parameter regimes. We also observe waves of radical behavior ebbing and flowing over generational cycles, realizing well known paradigms in political science. While government intervention is most effective when the appropriate ages are targeted, deciding whether preventive or corrective action is preferable depends on the aggressiveness of the radicalization process.
We introduce and analyze several aspects of a new model for cell differentiation. It assumes that differentiation of progenitor cells is a continuous process. From the mathematical point of view, it is based on partial differential equations of trans
port type. Specifically, it consists of a structured population equation with a nonlinear feedback loop. This models the signaling process due to cytokines, which regulate the differentiation and proliferation process. We compare the continuous model to its discrete counterpart, a multi-compartmental model of a discrete collection of cell subpopulations recently proposed by Marciniak-Czochra et al. in 2009 to investigate the dynamics of the hematopoietic system. We obtain uniform bounds for the solutions, characterize steady state solutions, and analyze their linearized stability. We show how persistence or extinction might occur according to values of parameters that characterize the stem cells self-renewal. We also perform numerical simulations and discuss the qualitative behavior of the continuous model vis a vis the discrete one.
We study a mathematical model describing the growth process of a population structured by age and a phenotypical trait, subject to aging, competition between individuals and rare mutations. Our goals are to describe the asymptotic behaviour of the so
lution to a renewal type equation, and then to derive properties that illustrate the adaptive dynamics of such a population. We begin with a simplified model by discarding the effect of mutations, which allows us to introduce the main ideas and state the full result. Then we discuss the general model and its limitations. Our approach uses the eigenelements of a formal limiting operator, that depend on the structuring variables of the model and define an effective fitness. Then we introduce a new method which reduces the convergence proof to entropy estimates rather than estimates on the constrained Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Numerical tests illustrate the theory and show the selection of a fittest trait according to the effective fitness. For the problem with mutations, an unusual Hamiltonian arises with an exponential growth, for which we show existence of a global viscosity solution, using an uncommon a priori estimate and a new uniqueness result.
