The stimuli for the increase in epidermal mitosis during wound healing are not fully known. We construct a mathematical model which suggests that biochemical regulation of mitosis is fundamental to the process, and that a single chemical with a simple regulatory effect can account for the healing of
Abstract Wound infection after clean surgery prolongs hospital stay but the organism most commonly isolated from wound discharge, Staphylococcus epidermidis, is often dismissed as a contaminant or commensal. The wounds of 517 patients were assessed, after cardiac surgery, by a wound-scoring method (
