Schematic depiction of CERONCO’s cytokinetic decision calculator. The calculator dictates the transitions between cell states, which are determined by corresponding model parameters (see Table 1) with a time step of 1 h. It incorporates: cycling of proliferating cells through the successive cell cycle phases; symmetric and asymmetric modes of stem cell division; terminal differentiation of committed progenitor cells after a number of mitotic divisions; transition of proliferating cells to the dormant phase due to inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients; reentering of dormant G0 cells into the active cell cycle due to local restoration of oxygen and nutrient supplies, spontaneous apoptosis, necrosis of inadequately nourished tumour cells, irradiation-induced cell death through necrosis, chemotherapy induced cell death through apoptosis. LIMP: Limited Mitotic Potential cells. DIFF: Terminally differentiated cells. G1: Gap 1 phase. S: DNA synthesis phase. G2: Gap 2 phase. M: Mitosis. G0: dormant phase. Hit: cells lethally hit by irradiation/drug.
