A two-compartment mechanochemical model of the roles of transforming growth factor β and tissue tension in dermal wound healing.

The repair of dermal tissue is a complex process of interconnected phenomena, where cellular, chemical and mechanical aspects all play a role, both in an autocrine and in a paracrine fashion. Recent experimental results have shown that transforming growth factor -β (TGFβ) and tissue mechanics play r...
