Wound Healing: Multi-Scale Modeling

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Multiscale Computer Modeling in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering

Part of the book series: Studies in Mechanobiology, Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials ((SMTEB,volume 14))

Abstract

This chapter is meant as an overview of our already published work that we carry out on modeling wound healing on the cellular, colony and tissue scale, though we detail the description of some stochastic principles that appear in our models. The relation between the scales is described in terms of the underlying biological and mathematical concepts. We also present the implications and applicability of the mathematical models studied.
