Thus for a particular problem in hand it is necessary to chose z and c that represent the state of cells and the media. Then the matrices and functions <div lang="latex">\beta, \gamma, \mathbf{R}(\mathbf{z,c}), \sigma (\mathbf{z',c}) and p(\mathbf{z,z',c})</div> need to be defined for the problem considered.

[?] to include 2 plasmids and incorporate cell maturity as a state variable.
