This paper delineates the application of the quantitative, individual cell-based model by Abkowitz et al. [5]. The authors give a model-based explanation of chimerism skewing in cats resulting from small differences in cell kinetic properties between cells of different genetic background.

This article provides a description of a new biologic concept that includes plasticity and flexibility of cellular properties in stem cells. Based on a series of experimental results, the authors proposed molecular processes responsible for reversibly changing stem cell phenotype (see also Quesenberry et al. [51]).

The author discusses evidence that stem cell populations have to be understood as self-organizing systems. He highlights the necessity of new concepts (including quantitative models) to understand current experimental results in stem cell biology.

This paper highlights the potential of quantitative modeling approaches. It relates the quantitative stem cell model proposed by Roeder and Loeffler [49] to the qualitative concept suggested by Quesenberry et al. [51], and demonstrales how simulation studies can help to explain experimental observations.
