Abstract: In this talk we present a class of discrete in continuous mathematical models, which describe self-organization phenomena for some different classes of stem cells. Our models try to mimic the
results obtained in recent biological experiments. We rely on a hybrid description: discrete for the cellular level and continuous for the molecular level. Two case studies are considered: the formation of neuromastes in the posterior lateral line of zebrafishes, and the growth of the so called cardiospheres, which are composed by the precursors of human cardiac cells. For a simple casy we prove the existence of steady solutions consistent with the formation of particular biological structure.
