Apoptotic cell count determined through simulations of the model. The number of apoptotic cells (A) is plotted against time. The red curve shows A in the absence of growth factor deprivation and cytokine administration (baseline case). The green curve shows A during the presence of growth factor deprivation. The blue curve shows A during growth factor deprivation and cytokine administration. Note that cytokine administration does not prevent cells from undergoing apoptosis but rather boosts the rate of proliferation of healthy cells
