Mathematical Model for Wound Healing
by
Rebecca Segal
Virginia Commonwealth University

Wound healing can provide insight into general tissue repair. This talk explores the current state of spatially dependent modeling efforts in the area of wound healing and looks toward the development of a new model. Specifically, we explore the development of a reaction-diffusion model for fibroblast migration in a cylindrical wound to gain a better understanding of the factors influencing successful wound healing.
