AI Thread Summary
Perturbations are introduced in the context of modeling cellular aging to describe the stochastic fluctuations that can lead to a rapid decline in cell populations. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding these fluctuations in maintaining cellular viability without stem cell support. Participants suggest exploring the Biology subforum for more specialized insights on perturbations and their applications in biological models. The conversation emphasizes the need for resources to better grasp the concept of perturbations in relation to cellular aging. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for advancing research in biophysics and cellular longevity.

Long story short:
I'm writing a project om modelling cellular aging in biological tissue from the principle that cells have to stay alive as long as possible without help from stem cells (biophysics).

Now the model of the amount of cells fluctuates around a steady state until stochastic fluctuations make it decline rapidly.

To describe this (I think) my article introduces something called pertubations. What are they, would it be possible that they were used to describe stochastic behaviour, and does anyone know a good link to read about them? :)

You may want to try the Biology subforum instead. They should be able to help you there.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
