Abstract: The progressive accumulation of damaged proteins within the cellular structure is a key factor in the aging process of yeast. By considering the quantity of damaged proteins as a measure of the cell's biological age, we explore an individual-based stochastic population model that incorporates rejuvenation events. During cell division, the mother cell is given the opportunity rejuvenate, by transferring the accumulated damage to the daughter cell. This modeling approach allows us to study the dynamics of the aging process and understand the impact of rejuvenation on the overall population.
