Abstract
A finite element model for epidermal wound healing is proposed. The model takes into account the sequential steps of angiogenesis (neo-vascularization) and wound contraction (the actual healing of a wound). An innovation in the present study is the combination of both partially overlapping processes, yielding novel insights into the process of wound healing. The models consist of nonlinearly coupled diffusionreaction equations, in which transport of oxygen, growth factors and epidermal cells and mitosis are taken into account. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
