Cancer cell population growth kinetics at low densities deviate from the exponential growth model and suggest an Allee effect

Cancer cell population growth kinetics at low densities deviate from the exponential growth model and suggest an Allee effect

Most models of cancer cell population expansion assume exponential growth kinetics at low cell densities, with deviations to account for observed slowing of growth rate only at higher densities due to limited resources such as space and nutrients. However, recent preclinical and clinical observations of tumor initiation or recurrence indicate …
