title: Modeling of the stochastic dynamics of radiation cell death: general approaches and some applications.
abstract: A description of the stochastic dynamics of radiation cell death based on the first-passage model is given. Both quasistochastic and stochastic methods of description are considered. Distributions of the time to cell death for stable and unstable populations are obtained. These results are used to analyze the dynamics of interphase death of thymocytes and bone marrow cells.
