Comparisons between results obtained with the model and experimental data.

<p>(A) Cell proliferation rate as a function of the distance from the quiescent centre; calculation from <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003026#pcbi-1003026-g009" target="_blank">Fig. 9</a> after six days of growth. The red line and dots are the experimental points reported in Ref. <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003026#pcbi.1003026-Beemster1" target="_blank">[64]</a>. (B) Frequency distribution for cell length. Experimental data were taken from our laser microscope image of <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003026#pcbi-1003026-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>. (C) Average cell length as a function of the distance from the quiescent centre; calculation from <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003026#pcbi-1003026-g009" target="_blank">Fig. 9</a> after six days of growth. The red line is the experimental result reported in Ref. <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003026#pcbi.1003026-Beemster1" target="_blank">[64]</a>. (D) Average cell proliferation velocity as a function of the distance from the quiescent centre; calculation from <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003026#pcbi-1003026-g009" target="_blank">Fig. 9</a> after six days of growth. The red line is the experimental result reported in Ref. <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003026#pcbi.1003026-Beemster1" target="_blank">[64]</a>.
