A mathematical model of intercellular signaling during epithelial wound healing.
Recent experiments monitoring the healing process of wounded epithelial monolayers have demonstrated the necessity of MAPK activation for coordinated cell movement after damage. This MAPK activity is characterized by two wave-like phenomena. One MAPK "wave" that originates immediately after injury, propagates deep into the cell sheet, away from the edge, and then rebounds back to the wound inte...
متن کاملCorneal epithelial wound healing.
The corneal surface is, without question, the most specialised 123 mm2* of the body's surface. It forms an integral part of the ocular surface with which it shares several anatomical and physiological attributes. Like the rest ofthe body surface, it is in a state of constant 'healing'. Squamous epithelial cells are continually shed into the tear pool and simultaneously replenished by cells movi...
متن کاملConjunctival epithelial wound healing.
In vivo conjunctival epithelial healing in albino rabbits was investigated by light microscopy following both n-heptanol and trephined conjunctival wounding. Reepithelialization occurred faster following n-heptanol treatment (3 days) versus trephination (6-7 days). No goblet cells were present in the migrating epithelium during reepithelialization. After 1 day of wounding, goblet cells disappea...
متن کاملExploiting PI3K/mTOR signaling to accelerate epithelial wound healing.
The molecular circuitries controlling the process of skin wound healing have gained new significant insights in recent years. This knowledge is built on landmark studies on skin embryogenesis, maturation, and differentiation. Furthermore, the identification, characterization, and elucidation of the biological roles of adult skin epithelial stem cells and their influence in tissue homeostasis ha...
متن کاملEpithelial Regeneration and Wound Healing
SAINT in 1929 documented the experimental studies that had been carried out up to that date on the healing of oesophageal wounds. The reported observations dealt with the relatively long-term results, and little attention was paid to the early changes that occurred during the period immediately following the infliction of the wound. Recently, Malm (1951) made observations following surgical exp...
