  • Title: An enzyme kinetic model of blood island formation.
    Author: Matteson A.
    Journal: Math Med Biol; 2008 Sep; 25(3):233-45. PubMed ID: 18697733.
    Abstract:
    Blood islands are conglomerations of prevascular stem cells that form during vasculogenesis, a function critical to early vascular and hematopoietic development. In this paper, a model of blood island formation is proposed employing the approach of classical enzyme kinetics. Deterministic simulations of the model show the formation of blood island-like structures. These are compared to murine blood islands.
