title: Modeling Cell Kinetics using Branching Processes with Non-Homogeneous Poisson Immigration.
abstract: Age-dependent branching processes with non-homogeneous Poisson immigration are proposed as models of cell proliferation kinetics. The asymptotic behaviour of the first and second-order moments is investigated and the obtained results are use to develop a relevant statistical inference.
