Examples of Gompertz modeling in cells


Red blood cells, photohemolysis
M. Al-Akhras, A new application of Gompertz function in photohemolysis: the effect of temperature on red blook cell hemolysis phtosensitized by protoporthyrin IX, Med Bio, Eng Comput. 2006, 44:703-710.  Figures are plotted as percentage of dead cells ~ time, i.e., 1-viability ~ time.

E coli growth

Lett 236:109–114


Kim et al. used Gompertz function for the growth of Escherichia coli under oxidative stress induced by photoexcited TiO2.
