Wound healing in the corneal epithelium: biological mechanisms and mathematical models

Corneal epithelium has a highly specialised wound-healing response. The biological aspects of this repair process are reviewed, and methods of modelling it mathematically are described. A model which focuses on the source of epidermal growth factor (EGF) within a healing wound is described. By co...
