The evolution of irreversible cell differentiation under cell death effect. by Yuanxiao Gao, Xueyan Zhao, Caixia Li

“…We show that irreversible differentiation is more likely to occur when cell death rates between cell types are linear. Meanwhile, differences in death rates between cell types affect the emergence conditions of irreversible differentiation, whereas no significant impacts on that from equal cell death rates. …”
