A mechanochemical model for adult dermal wound contraction: On the permanence of the contracted tissue displacement profile

The healing of adult mammalian skin wounds involves a complex sequence of spatially and temporally coordinated processes. Wound contraction, by reducing the size of the injury, is an intrinsic component of full-thickness excisional dermal wound healing. The underlying biomechanics of wound contracti...
