Models of growing clusters, such as the Eden model and Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA), have been widely used to describe a variety of natural growth processes. In this paper, we develop models of shrinking clusters which we use to model epidermal wound healing. We present two approaches to mode
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
