Simulating several stem cell models
The goal is to tweak the model such that the results from the experiments can be duplicated with this simulation, as well as illustrating the results of different (wrong) assumptions to students.
Stem cell contained in the Crypt can divide symmetrically (forming two stem cells) and push neighbours out of their way. When a cell is pushed out of the crypt the cell specializes.
The player can choose to see how the population behaves when the stem cells divide asymmetrically.
From experiments it is known that it takes approximatly 3 months untill the crypt is dominated by the offspring of a single stem cell. The crypt contains a relativly constant amount of 15 stem cells. Cells tend to divide symmetrically each day.
