Detailed Description

The AbstractCellCycleModel contains basic information to all cell cycle models. It handles assignment of birth time, cell cycle phase and a TissueCell.

Definition at line 54 of file AbstractCellCycleModel.hpp.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AbstractCellCycleModel::AbstractCellCycleModel (  ) 

Sets up a new AbstractCellCycleModel, gives it a birth time of the current simulation time (which is overwritten by some subclasses)

Definition at line 31 of file AbstractCellCycleModel.cpp.

AbstractCellCycleModel::~AbstractCellCycleModel (  )  [virtual]

Base class with virtual methods needs a virtual destructor.

Definition at line 41 of file AbstractCellCycleModel.cpp.


Member Function Documentation

template<class Archive>
void AbstractCellCycleModel::serialize ( Archive &  archive,
const unsigned int  version 
) [inline, private]

Archive the member variables.

Serialization of singleton objects must be done with care. Before the object is serialized via a pointer, it *MUST* be serialized directly, or an assertion will trip when a second instance of the class is created on de-serialization.

Parameters:
archive the archive
version the current version of this class

Reimplemented in AbstractOdeBasedCellCycleModel, AbstractSimpleCellCycleModel, AbstractSimpleGenerationBasedCellCycleModel, AbstractWntOdeBasedCellCycleModel, FixedDurationGenerationBasedCellCycleModel, IngeWntSwatCellCycleModel, SimpleWntCellCycleModel, StochasticDurationGenerationBasedCellCycleModel, StochasticWntCellCycleModel, TysonNovakCellCycleModel, and WntCellCycleModel.

AbstractCellCycleModel& AbstractCellCycleModel::operator= ( const AbstractCellCycleModel rOtherModel  )  [private]

Assignment operator has no definition and can't be called. This is to prevent running the default assignment operator.

Parameters:
rOtherModel the cell cycle model being copied.

void AbstractCellCycleModel::SetCell ( TissueCell pCell  ) 

Gives the cell cycle model a pointer to its host cell.

Some cell cycle models pass this pointer to other classes (e.g. WntConcentration), which use this information to determine other information based upon the location of the cell (e.g. the Wnt concentration at this location).

Parameters:
pCell pointer to the cell

virtual void AbstractCellCycleModel::Initialise ( void   )  [inline, virtual]

Initialise the cell cycle model at the start of a simulation.

This method will be called precisely once per cell set up in the initial tissue. It is not called on cell division; use ResetForDivision(), CreateCellCycleModel() and InitialiseDaughterCell() for that.

By the time this is called, a Tissue will have been set up, so the model can know where its cell is located in space. If relevant to the simulation, the CellwiseData and WntConcentration singletons will also have been initialised.

Referenced by TissueCell::InitialiseCellCycleModel().

virtual void AbstractCellCycleModel::InitialiseDaughterCell (  )  [inline, virtual]

Initialise the new daughter cell's cycle model after a cell division.

This is called by TissueCell::Divide once the new cell object has been fully created, to perform any initialisation of the cell cycle which requires access to the cell.

Note that much initialisation can be performed using the combination of ResetForDivision() (called on the parent prior to division) and CreateCellCycleModel() (called on the reset parent to create the new cell cycle model object).

Returns:
The cell which plays host to this cell cycle model.

void AbstractCellCycleModel::SetBirthTime ( double  birthTime  )  [virtual]

Set the cell's time of birth (usually not required as it should be inside the indivdual cell-cycle-model-constructor, but useful for tests).

Parameters:
birthTime the simulation time at this cell's birth.
(This function is overridden in AbstractOdeBasedCellCycleModel).

Returns:
the time at which the cell was born.

double AbstractCellCycleModel::GetAge (  ) 

bool AbstractCellCycleModel::ReadyToDivide (  ) 

Determine whether the cell is ready to divide (enter M phase).

The intention is that this method is called precisely once at each timestep of the simulation. However this does not appear to always be the case at present, and so it can cope with more unusual usage patterns.

virtual void AbstractCellCycleModel::UpdateCellCyclePhase (  )  [pure virtual]

This method must be implemented by subclasses in order to set the phase the cell cycle model is currently in. It is called from ReadyToDivide() just prior to deciding whether to divide the cell based on how far through the cell cycle it is, i.e. whether it has completed M, G1, S and G2 phases.

Implemented in AbstractOdeBasedCellCycleModel, AbstractSimpleCellCycleModel, and SimpleWntCellCycleModel.

Referenced by ReadyToDivide().

void AbstractCellCycleModel::ResetForDivision (  )  [virtual]

Each cell cycle model must be able to be reset 'after' a cell division.

Actually, this method is called from TissueCell::Divide() to reset the cell cycle just before the daughter cell is created. CreateCellCycleModel() can then clone our state to generate a cell cycle model instance for the daughter cell.

virtual AbstractCellCycleModel* AbstractCellCycleModel::CreateCellCycleModel (  )  [pure virtual]

Builder method to create new instances of the cell cycle model. Each concrete subclass must implement this method to create an instance of that subclass.

This method is called by the copy constructor and operator= of TissueCell to create a copy of the cell cycle model when copying a cell. It thus needs to create an instance of the right class which is an exact copy of this instance.

This method is also called by TissueCell::Divide() to create a cell cycle model for the daughter cell. Note that the parent cell cycle model will have had ResetForDivision() called just before CreateCellCycleModel() is called, so performing an exact copy of the parent is suitable behaviour. Any daughter-cell-specific initialisation can be done in InitialiseDaughterCell().

It is suggested to implement this method using the copy constructor, for example: return new TysonNovakCellCycleModel(*this); If any special copying behaviour is required, a suitable copy constructor can then be written (which you should have done anyway, of course).

Note:
This base class does not define a copy constructor, despite the fact that it contains a pointer to a TissueCell. This is OK because the TissueCell is not deleted by our destructor, and in all cases where the copy constructor is used either the original object is immediately destroyed, or the copy is assigned to a new cell.

Implemented in FixedDurationGenerationBasedCellCycleModel, IngeWntSwatCellCycleModel, SimpleWntCellCycleModel, StochasticDurationGenerationBasedCellCycleModel, StochasticWntCellCycleModel, TysonNovakCellCycleModel, and WntCellCycleModel.
