Wounding induces motility in sheets of corneal epithelial cells through loss of spatial constraints: role of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor signaling.

Abstract excerpt

Cellular responses to wounding have often been studied at a molecular level after disrupting cell layers by mechanical means. This invariably results in damage to cells at the edges of the wounds, which has been suggested to be instrumental for initiating wound healing. To test this, we devised a...
