Abstract
In this paper, we investigate a linear population model of cells that are capable of simultaneous proliferation and maturation. We consider the case when the time required for a cell to divide depends on its maturity. This model is described by first order partial differential system with a retardation of the maturation variable and a time delay depending on this maturity. Both delays are due to cell replication.
