Stability and Hopf Bifurcation in a Mathematical Model of Pluripotent Stem Cell Dynamics Mostafa Adimy†, Fabien Crauste† and Shigui Ruan?

E-mail: Abstract We study a mathematical model describing the dynamics of a pluripotent stem cell population involved in the blood production process in the bone marrow. This model is a differential equation with a time delay. The delay describes the cell cycle duration and is uniformly distributed on an interval. We obtain stability conditions independent of the delay. We also show that the distributed delay can destabilize the entire system. In particularly, it is shown that Hopf bifurcations can occur. Keywords: Blood production system, stem cells, delay differential equations, stability, Hopf bifurcation. 1 Introduction Blood production process, called hematopoiesis, is one of the major biological phenomena occurring in human body. It takes place in the bone marrow where pluripotent stem cells give birth to mature cells.
