A mathematical analysis of physiological and morphological aspects of wound closure

A computational algorithm to study the evolution of complex wound morphologies is developed based on a model of wound closure by cell mitosis and migration due to Adam [Math Comput Model 30(5–6):23–32, 1999]. A detailed analysis of the model provides estimated values for the incubation and healing times. Furthermore, a set of inequalities are...

A simplified model for growth factor induced healing of circular wounds

A mathematical model is developed for the rate of healing of a circular wound in a spherical skull. In this paper the regeneration, decay and transport of a generic "growth factor, which induces the healing of the wound, is taken into account. Further, an equation of motion is derived for the actual healing of the wound. The expressions for the...
