We evaluated the effectiveness of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in inhibiting wound contraction, both alone and in combination with collagen matrix, using a simulated in vivo delayed healing type model. We also studied the mechanisms involved in this inhibition in in vitro experiments using
We analyse the Molecular Jet-hypothesis proposed by Morel & Bachouchi (1988, J. theor. Biol. 132, 83.). This hypothesis attempts to explain the movement of covaspheres that contain myosin heads attached to actin filaments. This movement occurs during muscle contraction. However, the hypothesis does
