Table 1.

The parameters that describe the linear and saturated feedback model. The values given are those used for the simulation of the saturated feedback model. The units of all of the α and β are [1/div], where div is the time for one cell division in days. The unit of k is [1/Ndiv], and the unit of m is [1/N], where N is the number of cells of species E at time t. EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

α2 0.32 Differentiation of ME
α3 0.02 Cell death of M
β1 0.87 Proliferative capacity of E
β2 0.25 Senescence of E
β3 0.4 Cell death of E
β4 0.0025 Rate of EMT
k 0.0026 Defines carrying capacity of E
m 0.0036 Defines maximum per-capita growth rate
