Résumé de l'exposé
Adipose cells or adipocytes are the specialized cells composing the adipose tissue in a variety of species.Their role is the storage of energy in the form of a lipid droplet inside their membrane. Based on the amount of lipid they contain, one can consider the distribution of adipocyte per amount of lipid and observe a peculiar feature : the resulting distribution is bimodal, thus having two local maxima. The aim of this talk is to introduce a model built from the work in Soula & al. (2013) that is able to reproduce this bimodal feature using a Lifshitz-Slyozov model. Additionally we present some result on this model and its relation to the Becker-Döring model. We can show that under some assumptions the later converges to the former and by looking at higher order term we can build an extended diffusive Lifshitz-Slyozov model which better describes the dynamics of adipose cells. I will also present some probabilistic insight into this convergence and some numerical simulations
